External form summary
California law prescribes a yearly ad valorem tax based on property as it exists at 12:01 a.m. on January 1 (tax lien date). This form constitutes an official request that you declare all assessable agricultural property situated in this county which you owned, claimed, possessed, controlled, or managed on the tax lien date, and that you sign (under penalty of perjury) and return the statement to the Assessor’s Office by the date cited on the face of the form as required by law. Failure to file the statement during the time provided in section 441 of the Revenue and Taxation Code will compel the Assessor to estimate the value of your property from other information in the Assessor’s possession and add a penalty of 10 percent of the assessed value as required by section 463 of the Code.
