What is APP-149?
APP-149: Report a Change on Business Property, Aircraft, and Boats is the San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk (ARC) form an owner uses to tell the county that something has changed on an account for business property, an aircraft or a boat. The printed title on the form is Report a Change.
The form is organized around four kinds of change:
- Mailing Address Change Only, with an effective date and the old and new street address, city, state and ZIP code.
- Moved, with an effective date and the old and new address.
- Sold, with an effective date, the sale price, the new owner's name and the new owner's mailing address.
- Closed, with an effective date and the disposition of assets.
The top of the form identifies the account: owner's name, parcel number, doing business as (DBA) name, and account or ID number. The bottom asks for a printed name, title, daytime phone number, date and email address.
The county's forms page lists APP-149 among the Assessor's forms. It lists other Assessor forms with similar-sounding names, such as AOS-058: Request for Change of Address and APP-144: Notification to the Assessor of Business in San Bernardino County, which are separate documents. Questions about APP-149 go to the ARC Personal Property Division.
Who needs to file APP-149?
The main group is owners of business property, aircraft or boats in San Bernardino County who need to report a change on their account to the Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk. The form is built for four situations, each with its own section:
- An owner whose mailing address changes and nothing else (Mailing Address Change Only).
- An owner who has Moved.
- An owner who has Sold the property, including the sale price and the new owner's name and mailing address.
- An owner whose business has Closed, who describes the disposition of assets.
The form identifies the account by owner's name, parcel number, DBA and account or ID number, so have those at hand. The form does not say who may sign or file for an owner, and it prints no exclusions. If you are unsure whether it fits your property or situation, call the Personal Property Division at (909) 382-3220 or email [email protected], the contacts printed on the form.
When to file APP-149
Use APP-149 when the change it covers happens: a new mailing address, a move, a sale of the property or a closure of the business. Each section has its own Effective Date line, so the date you enter is the date the change takes effect, not necessarily the date you complete the form. The form prints no deadline, filing window or renewal cycle of its own. For timing questions on a particular account, contact the Personal Property Division at (909) 382-3220 or [email protected].

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the owner's name, parcel number, DBA or account or ID number at the top, so the county cannot tell which account the change belongs to.
- Skipping the Effective Date line in the section you complete, so the county does not know when the address change, move, sale or closure took effect.
- Completing the Sold section without the sale price, the new owner's name or the new owner's mailing address.
- Completing the Closed section without describing the disposition of assets.
- Filling in only the new address when reporting a move or address change; the form asks for both the Old Address and the New Address.
- Omitting the printed name, title, daytime phone number, date or email at the bottom, which the county would use to contact you.
