Understanding the intricacies of property transactions is crucial, especially when it comes to the implications on property taxes. The BOE-502-AH form plays a pivotal role in this context, serving as a Change in Ownership Statement that must be filed with the County Recorder or Assessor in California. This form is a critical document for individuals who have recently acquired an interest in real property or a manufactured home, making them subject to local property taxation. Its primary function is to inform the Assessor's Office of changes in property ownership, which could potentially alter the property tax obligations. The requirement stipulates that this form be filed at the time of recording or within specific deadlines after the transfer, with extended deadlines under certain circumstances, such as the event of a death leading to the change in ownership. Failure to comply with this filing requirement invites penalties, which can be notably steep, designed to encourage prompt compliance and ensure equitable taxation. This statement covers various transaction types, from transfers between spouses or domestic partners to transactions affecting the property's tax basis, including transactions intended to avoid reassessment under certain conditions provided by law. Completing and submitting this form accurately is crucial, as it affects tax assessments and relates directly to the individual’s obligation to the state and local government.

The law requires any transferee acquiring an interest in real property or manufactured home subject to local property taxation, and that is assessed by the county assessor, to ile a Change in Ownership Statement with the County Recorder or Assessor. The Change in Ownership Statement must be iled at the time of recording or, if the transfer is not recorded, within 90 days of the date of the change in ownership, except that where the change in ownership has occurred by reason of death the statement shall be iled within 150 days after the date of death or, if the estate is probated, shall be iled at the time the inventory and appraisal is iled. The failure to ile a Change in Ownership Statement within 90 days from the date of a written request by the Assessor results in a penalty of either: (1) one hundred dollars ($100); or (2) 10 percent of the taxes applicable to the new base year value relecting the change in ownership of the real property or manufactured home, whichever is greater, but not to exceed ive thousand dollars ($5,000) if the property is eligible for the homeowners’ exemption or twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) if the property is not eligible for the homeowners’ exemption if that failure to ile was not willful. This penalty will be added to the assessment roll and shall be collected like any other delinquent property taxes, and be subject to the same penalties for nonpayment.
