What is Shopping Center Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The Shopping Center Questionnaire is a form that the Alameda County Assessor's Office publishes for download on its Assessor Forms page, where it appears in the Questionnaire category and the listing prints no separate form number for it.
The Alameda County Assessor's Office, at 1221 Oak Street in Oakland, publishes a long list of forms on that page. They range from exemption claims and change in ownership statements to personal property forms and address changes. The questionnaires form their own group, with one document per property type or topic. Besides the Shopping Center Questionnaire, the list includes the Office Building Questionnaire, Restaurant Questionnaire, Theater Questionnaire, Service Station Questionnaire, Golf And Country Club Questionnaire, Motel/Hotel Income-Expense Questionnaire, Mobile Home Park Questionnaire and Rental Questionnaire – Commercial/Industrial. The Shopping Center Questionnaire is the one titled for shopping centers.
The Assessor asks that every form be filled out as completely as possible for quicker processing, and that you give your name or business name, mailing address, location of business if applicable, parcel number if known, and telephone number. Every California county has its own set of forms, so this questionnaire applies to property located in Alameda County.
Who needs to file Shopping Center Questionnaire – Alameda County, CA?
The form is meant for owners, operators or representatives dealing with the Alameda County Assessor's Office about a shopping center property located in Alameda County. Its title and its place in the Assessor's list of property-type questionnaires point to that audience. The Assessor's forms page does not say who is required to complete this questionnaire or when the office requests it. If the Assessor's Office has asked you for it, or you are unsure whether it applies to your property, call the office at (510) 272-3787 or write to [email protected].
Property in another county is outside this form. The Assessor's page states that every California county has its own set of forms and tells owners of property in another county to contact that county's Assessor's Office.
Whoever completes the form should be able to give the details the Assessor asks for on every form: name or business name, mailing address, location of business if applicable, parcel number if known, and telephone number. The form may not be processed if that information is missing.
