What is Restaurant Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The Restaurant Questionnaire is a form published by the Alameda County Assessor's Office in Oakland, California, and listed under the Questionnaire type on its Assessor Forms page, where it is available for download.
The Assessor publishes a family of questionnaires, each written for one kind of property. Besides the Restaurant Questionnaire, the same page lists a Business Property Questionnaire, a Golf and Country Club Questionnaire, a Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire, an Office Building Questionnaire, a Service Station Questionnaire, a Shopping Center Questionnaire, a Theater Questionnaire, a Mobile Home Park Questionnaire and a Rural Property Use and Income Questionnaire. This one is the version for restaurants.
The agency page prints no form number for it. It asks that every form be filled out as completely as possible for quicker processing. It also warns that every California county has its own set of forms, so this questionnaire belongs to Alameda County and does not replace the forms of another county's Assessor.
Who needs to file Restaurant Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
