INSTRUCTIONS

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 business 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.

If you own taxable personal property in any other county whose aggregate cost is $100,000 or more for any assessment year, you must file
a property statement with the Assessor of that county whether or not you are requested to do so. Any person not otherwise required to file
a statement shall do so upon request of the Assessor regardless of aggregate cost of property. The Assessor of the county will
supply you with a form upon request.

Except for the "DECLARATION BY ASSESSEE" section, you may furnish attachments in lieu of entering the information on this
property statement. However, such attachments must contain all the information requested by the statement and these
instructions. The attachments must be in a format acceptable to the Assessor, and the property statement must contain appropriate
references to the attachments and must be properly signed. In all instances, you must return the original BOE-571-M. Form

under the laws of the State of California. The declaration must be signed by the assessee, a duly appointed fiduciary, or a person
authorized to sign on behalf of the assessee. In the case of a corporation, the declaration must be signed by an officer or by an employee for
or agent who has been designated in writing by the board of directors, by name or by title, to sign the declaration on behalf of the
corporation. In the case of a partnership, the declaration must be signed by a partner or an authorized employee or agent. In the case of
a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the declaration must be signed by an LLC manager, or by a member where there is no manager, or by
an employee or agent designated by the LLC manager or by the members to sign on behalf of the LLC.

When signed by an employee or agent, other than a member of the bar, a certified public accountant, a public accountant, an enrolled
agent or a duly appointed fiduciary, the assessee’s written authorization of the employee or agent to sign the declaration on behalf of
the assessee must be filed with the Assessor. The Assessor may at any time require a person who signs a property statement and who is SAMPLE
required to have written authorization to provide proof of authorization.

A property statement that is not signed and executed in accordance with the foregoing instructions is not validly filed. The penalty
imposed by section 463 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for failure to file is applicable to unsigned property statements. Assessor
