Form MAF750B, Property Damaged by Misfortune or Calamity – San Diego County, CA

Form MAF750B, Property Damaged by Misfortune or Calamity, is a questionnaire from the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk, Business Division, that collects the facts of a loss to a boat or aircraft and must accompany the Application For Reassessment form MAF750A.

The form is headed by an account block: Account No. (Boat or Aircraft), applicant name, address, normal property location and tax bill number. Its numbered lines then ask:

• whether the loss was due to no fault of your own (line 1) and whether it was due to theft (line 2);
• the manufacturer, year built and full cost of the property (lines 3 to 5);
• insurance details: company, policy number, insured value, amount of payoff and date of payoff (lines 6 to 10);
• copies of the accident report made to the insurance agency, of any survey or report of condition made after the loss, and of any reports made to or by a government agency (lines 11 to 13);
• a brief description of the type of loss and how it occurred, with addendum sheets as needed (line 14).

You certify the statements under penalty of perjury by signing, dating and giving a daytime phone number.

On its assessor forms page, the county lists this document under Vessels and Aircraft as the Misfortune and Calamity Claim Application, noting that MAF750A and MAF750B must be filed. A separate business personal property listing on the same page names BUSF750A and BUSF750B; MAF750B is the version printed for a boat or aircraft account.

Owners of a boat or aircraft who are asking the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk to reassess property damaged by misfortune or calamity complete Form MAF750B. The form is headed Account No. (Boat or Aircraft), and it states that the questionnaire must be completed and returned with the Application For Reassessment form MAF750A, so it is not filed on its own.

The form also covers loss by theft: line 2 asks whether the loss was due to theft, and line 1 asks whether the loss was due to no fault of your own. The applicant signs the certification under penalty of perjury.

Do not use this version for business personal property. The county's assessor forms page lists a separate Misfortune and Calamity Claim Application for that category, for which BUSF750A and BUSF750B must be filed. The form itself does not describe who may sign for an owner; the Vessels & Aircraft office number printed on the form, 858/505-6200, is the contact for that question.

Form MAF750B is submitted whenever you file the Application For Reassessment form MAF750A, because the questionnaire must be completed and returned with it. No separate due date is printed on MAF750B. The form is triggered by a loss to a boat or aircraft: damage by misfortune or calamity, or theft. Gather the insurance and report information before you start, since lines 6 to 13 ask for policy details, payoff dates and copies of reports made after the loss. For any deadline that applies to the reassessment application itself, contact the Vessels & Aircraft office at 858/505-6200.

Form MAF750B is returned together with the Application For Reassessment form MAF750A; the form prints no separate mailing instruction, portal or appointment rule.
