Requesting Copies and Additional Forms

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I request copies of prior year filings?

The owner or their agent may request copies either in person or in writing. The cost for prior year copies is $2.00 for the 1st page and $1.00 per additional page. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with written requests; otherwise, postage is an additional $1.25. Enclose a check for the proper amount made out to Sacramento County Assessor's Office.

Note: If an agent is requesting copies or other information about a taxpayer's account, they must first file a letter of authorization appointing them as the owner's agent. That letter must be an original copy bearing the original signature of the owner and the owner's phone number. If the owner is a corporation or business, the letter of agency must be on the company's official stationery and signed by an officer of the corporation.

How do I request additional forms?

Many of our forms are posted on the Assessor's Internet site and may be printed from the site. Visit our Forms page.

If you are unable to find the form you need on the Assessor's web page or do not have access to the Internet, then you may request additional forms by phone, by fax or by mail. See the last section of this document, 'How to Contact the Personal Property Division,' for the phone numbers and mailing address you will need in order to do so.

How do I obtain a copy of the current year's BPS after it has been processed by the Assessor and shows the assessed values?

When requesting current value information, please include the request with your completed BPS, a copy of the completed BPS, and enclose a self-addressed stamped return envelope. Otherwise, you must send a separate request as specified above in question #2 above.
