What is B-158A?
Form B-158A, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L for Theaters, is the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor schedule that supplements Form 571-L, the Business Property Statement, for businesses in the theater industry.
The Assessor's forms page lists B-158A together with a family of industry-specific supplements to Form 571-L. The other schedules in that family include:
- B-113A, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L for Bowling Centers;
- B-116A, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L for Service Station and or Car Wash;
- B-17, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L for Hotels and Motels;
- B-41, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L for Cable Television Industry;
- B-43, Supplemental Schedule to Form 571-L Water Softener Service Industry Report.
The same page lists the main statement it supplements as BOE-571-L / ASSR-49, Business Property Statement Fillable. B-158A is not a replacement for that statement: it is a companion schedule for theaters, and the other industry schedules are for their own industries.
The Assessor publishes B-158A as a PDF on its forms page, https://assessor.lacounty.gov/forms, among forms for exemptions, changes of ownership, reassessment exclusions and business property statements.
Who needs to file B-158A?
The schedule is meant for theater businesses in Los Angeles County that complete Form 571-L, the Business Property Statement, and need the theater supplement the Assessor offers with it. The Assessor's forms page places B-158A with the other industry supplements to Form 571-L, each tied to a specific type of business.
Businesses in other industries use the schedule made for their industry instead, such as B-17 for hotels and motels, B-113A for bowling centers or B-41 for the cable television industry. B-158A is not a form for exemptions, changes of ownership or reassessment claims, which the Assessor lists as separate forms.
The listing does not say who may sign or file for a business. For eligibility, filing obligations and signature rules, check the Form 571-L instructions and the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor.
When to file B-158A
B-158A is a supplemental schedule to Form 571-L, so it is completed in connection with the Business Property Statement it supplements and not as a stand-alone filing. The Assessor's listing of the form prints no separate due date. For the filing date and any extension rules, use the Form 571-L instructions and the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor's website.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating B-158A as a replacement for Form 571-L, the Business Property Statement; it is a supplemental schedule to that form.
- Using a different industry's supplement, such as B-17 for hotels and motels or B-113A for bowling centers, instead of the schedule made for theaters.
- Using B-158A for an exemption, change of ownership or reassessment claim; the Assessor lists those as separate forms.
- Completing B-158A without the Form 571-L it supplements, so the two documents are not prepared together.
