 YES             NO            The property owner, primary contractor, civil or structural engineer, or architect has certified to the 
                               building department those portions of the project that are seismic retrofitting components, as defined 
                               by Revenue and Taxation Code section 74.5(b)(2). 

Section 74.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code excludes from assessment that portion of an existing structure that consists of the 
construction and reconstruction of seismic components.
In order to receive the exclusion, this claim form must be filed with the assessor prior to, or within 30 days of, completion of the project. 
All documents necessary to support the exclusion must be filed with the Assessor by the property owner not later than six months after 
completion of the project.
The property owner, primary contractor, civil or structural engineer, or architect shall certify to the building department those portions 
of the project that are seismic retrofitting components, as defined by Revenue and Taxation Code section 74.5(b)(2). Upon completion 
of the project, the building department shall report to the Assessor the costs of the portions of the project that are seismic retrofitting 
components.
For purposes of section 74.5
(1)  “Seismic retrofitting components” means seismic retrofitting improvements and improvements utilizing earthquake hazard mitigation 
 technologies.
(2)  “Seismic retrofitting improvements” means retrofitting or reconstruction of an existing building or structure, to abate falling hazards 
 from structural or nonstructural components of any building or structure including, but not limited to, parapets, appendages, cornices, 
 hanging objects, and building cladding that pose serious danger. “Seismic retrofitting improvements” also means either structural 
 strengthening or providing the means necessary to resist seismic force levels that would otherwise be experienced by an existing 
 building or structure during an earthquake, so as to significantly reduce hazards to life and safety while also providing for the substantially 
 safe ingress and egress of building occupants during and immediately after an earthquake. “Seismic retrofitting improvements” does 
 not include alterations, such as new plumbing, electrical, or other added finishing materials, made in addition to seismic-related work 
 performed on an existing structure. “Seismic retrofitting” includes, but is not limited to, those items referenced in Appendix Chapters 
 5 and 6 of the Uniform Code for Building Conservation of the International Conference of Building Officials.
(3)  “Improvements utilizing earthquake hazard mitigation technologies” means improvements to existing buildings identified by a local 
 government as being hazardous to life in the event of an earthquake. These improvements shall involve strategies for earthquake 
 protection of structures. These improvements shall use technologies such as those referenced in Part 2 (commencing with Section 
 101) of Title 24 of the California Building Code and similar seismic provisions in the Uniform Building Code.
                               THIS EXCLUSION EXPIRES UPON CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.
