What is BOE-577-A?
Form BOE-577-A, Aircraft Operations Report, is the form on which an airport owner or operator lists the aircraft that used the airport during a calendar year, so the County Assessor receives registration, make, model, and arrival and departure information.
The form states that Section 5368 of the Revenue and Taxation Code requires it to be completed and returned to the County Assessor upon request. Under that section the Assessor asks for the aircraft registration number, make, model and the arrival and departure information of all aircraft using the airport facilities for the calendar year.
The report is a table. Each row records the aircraft registration number, the aircraft type (make and model), the aircraft identification (flight number), whether the entry is an arrival or a departure, and the local time and date. The page header gives the county, the airport name and the calendar year. A certification block with signature, date, name, title, e-mail address and daytime telephone closes the form.
The title printed on the PDF reads "Airport Operations Report", while the Assessor's forms page lists the document as Aircraft Operations Report under the number BOE-577-A. The same forms page lists a separate form, BOE-577, Aircraft Property Statement. The PDF also carries the notice that the document is subject to public inspection.
Who needs to file BOE-577-A?
The form is addressed to owners and operators of private and public airports. An airport owner or operator completes it when the County Assessor requests the information; the form says it is completed and returned to the County Assessor upon request.
The report covers all aircraft using the airport facilities for the calendar year named on the form, not only some aircraft or some flights.
The person who completes it signs the certification and gives a name, title, e-mail address and daytime telephone. The certification is made under penalty of the laws of the State of California, and a second paragraph applies if the form is submitted with an electronic signature. The form does not describe who else may sign on behalf of an airport owner or operator, so confirm any question about a representative with the Assessor's office.
The form does not name any exclusions. It does not ask aircraft owners to complete it; its audience is stated as the owners and operators of airports.
When to file BOE-577-A
Complete and return Form BOE-577-A when the County Assessor asks for it. The form states that Section 5368 of the Revenue and Taxation Code requires it to be completed and returned upon request, so the request is the triggering event.
The report covers one calendar year, which you enter in the Calendar Year field, and it lists the aircraft that used your airport facilities during that year. The form prints no separate due date or return deadline of its own, so follow any date given in the Assessor's request.
