                                                                       Receipt:     Given or    Mailed  Date                       20 
                                                PROVISIONS OF THE REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE
252.  VETERANS’  EXEMPTION.  When  making  the  first  claim  any  person  claiming  the  veterans’  exemption,  or  the  spouse,  legal  guardian,  or 
conservator of such person, or one who has been granted a power of attorney by such person, shall appear before the assessor, shall give 
all information required and answer all questions in an affidavit prescribed by the State Board of Equalization, and shall subscribe and swear to 
the affidavit before the assessor. The assessor may require other proof of the facts stated before allowing the exemption. In subsequent years the 
person claiming the veterans’ exemption, or the spouse, legal guardian, or conservator of such person, or one who has been granted a power of 
attorney by such person, may file the affidavit under penalty of perjury by mail. Where a claim is filed by a legal guardian or conservator of a 
person claiming the veterans’ exemption, or one who has been granted a power of attorney by such claimant, the person filing the affidavit shall 
declare that he has sufficient knowledge of the financial affairs of the claimant to give all information required and answer all questions in the 
affidavit under penalty of perjury.
252.1. VETERANS’ EXEMPTION; TRANSMITTAL OF DUPLICATE. Among other facts, the veterans’ exemption affidavit shall contain a statement, 
showing the claimant’s residence. When the affidavit is filed in a county other than the county of the claimant’s residence, it shall be filed in 
duplicate and the assessor shall transmit the duplicate copy to the assessor of the county of residence.
253. VETERANS’ EXEMPTION; MAKING AFFIDAVIT. If, because of active military service of the United States in time of war, sickness or other 
cause found to be unavoidable in the judgment of the assessor, an applicant for the veterans’ exemption is unable to attend in person before 
the assessor, and no deputy is available to go to the place where he is located, then the applicant may make and subscribe the affidavit before 
any person authorized to administer an oath. If, during time of war, the applicant is in active military service of the United States or of any nation 
with which the United States is allied, or is outside of the continental limits of the United States, or if the person entitled to the exemption is 
insane or mentally incompetent, a member of his immediate family, or his guardian, or legal representative, having personal knowledge of the 
facts required to be set forth, may appear before the assessor and may make and subscribe the affidavit on his behalf.
255.       TIME TO FILE AFFIDAVITS. (a) Affidavits required for [the veterans’ exemption] shall be filed with the assessor between the lien date and 
5 p.m. on February 15.
260.       NONCOMPLIANCE WITH PROCEDURE. If any person, claiming any exemption named in this article, fails to follow the required 
procedure, the exemption is waived by the person.
261.       RECORDATION REQUIREMENT.
           (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (b) . . . as a prerequisite to the allowance of either the veterans’ or welfare exemption 
with  respect  to  taxes  on  real  property,  the  interest  of  the  claimant  in  the  property  must  be  of  record  on  the  lien  date  in  the  office  of  the 
recorder  of  the  county  in  which  the  property  is  located.  Failure  of  the  claimant  to  establish  the  fact  of  such  recordation  to  the  assessor 
constitutes a waiver of the exemption.
           (b) A claimant for the veterans’ exemption who on the lien date has an interest in real property consisting of an unrecorded contract of 
sale  may  in  lieu  of  the  recordation  pursuant  to  subdivision  (a)  furnish  or  show  the  contract  to  the  assessor  and  file  an  affidavit  with  the 
assessor stating all of the following:
           (1)  That he purchased the real property pursuant to such unrecorded contract of sale.
           (2)  That under such unrecorded contract of sale he is obligated and responsible for the payment of the taxes.
273.5. VETERANS’ EXEMPTION; PARTIAL CANCELLATION OF TAX. (a) If a claimant for the veterans’ exemption for the 1976-77 fiscal year or any year 
thereafter fails to file the required affidavit with the assessor by 5 p.m. on February 15 of the calendar year in which the fiscal year begins, but 
files that claim on or before the following December 10, an exemption of the lesser of three thousand two hundred dollars ($3,200) or 80 percent 
of the full value of the property shall be granted by the assessor.
                                                                     PROVISIONS OF THE PENAL CODE
126.       PUNISHMENT OF PERJURY. Perjury is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three or four years.
127.       SUBORNATION OF PERJURY. Every person who willfully procures another person to commit perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, 
and is punishable in the same manner as he would be if personally guilty of the perjury so procured.
129.       FALSE RETURN REQUIRED TO BE UNDER OATH. Every person who, being required by law to make any return, statement, or report, under 
oath, willfully makes and delivers any such return, statement, or report, purporting to be under oath, knowing the same to be false in any 
particular, is guilty of perjury, whether such oath was in fact taken or not.
                             YOU MUST FILE THIS CLAIM FOR VETERANS’ EXEMPTION WITH THE ASSESSOR BY FEBRUARY 15. 
                                                                       CERTIFICATION
I hereby certify that  I am the (legal  guardian)  (conservator)  (attorney in  fact) for                                                            and that I have 
signed and filed this claim for a veterans’ exemption in that capacity. I further certify that I have sufficient knowledge of

BOE-261 (S2F) REV.  9 (8-06)
                            VETERANS’ EXEMPTION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS 
                                                                (Read carefully)
California law provides for the exemption from taxation of the property to the amount of $4,000 of a resident (a) who is serving in or has 
served in and has been discharged under honorable conditions from service in the Armed Forces in time of war or other specified time, (b) 
who is the unmarried widow or widower of a deceased veteran, or (c) who is the pensioned parent of a deceased veteran. The claimant must 
meet certain property ownership qualifications. No such exemption shall apply if (a) the unmarried veteran or unmarried pensioned parent 
owns  property  valued at $5,000 or more, (b) a married veteran or married pensioned parent who, together with the spouse, owns property 
valued at $10,000 or more, or (c) the unmarried widow or widower of a deceased veteran owns property in excess of $10,000. Special provisions 
regarding exemptions for a veteran who, because of injury or disease incurred in military service, is blind in both eyes, has lost the use of two or 
more limbs, or is totally disabled are not covered in these instructions; a veteran with the above described injuries, or the unmarried widow or 
widower of such a veteran, should file BOE-261-G, Disabled Veterans’ Property Tax Exemption.
Beginning in 1981 property was assessed at its full value instead of 25 percent of its value as in prior years, yet the $5,000 ($10,000) limitation 
has not been changed. In determining whether the $5,000 ($10,000) limitation disqualifies a claimant the current statute (section 205.1, Revenue 
and Taxation Code) provides that whenever assessed value is used to determine eligibility, 25 percent of the assessed value of taxable real and 
personal property and the market value of nontaxable personal property are to be used in order to maintain the same proportionate values 
as in prior years. Therefore, 25 percent of the assessed value is used for items listed in questions 3, 4, and 5, the taxable portion of your business 
(question 6), and the taxable items listed in question 13. The market value is used for items listed in questions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, the nontaxable 
portion of your business which may now include inventory or livestock (question 6), and the nontaxable items listed in question 13. The amount 
of encumbrance on property cannot be deducted in determining the value of the property.
The claim for exemption must be filed at the Assessor’s Office by 5 p.m. on February 15 or mailed by that date. The lesser of $3,200 or 80 
percent of the full value of the property will be granted if the claim is filed between February 16 and December 10 of the calendar year in which 
the fiscal year begins.
Exemption may be allowed only upon (1) personal property assessed to the person entitled to the exemption, (2) real property recorded in the 
name of the claimant or in the names of the claimant and spouse as of the lien date, and (3) real property being purchased under an unrecorded 
contract of sale where the claimant furnishes or shows the contract to the Assessor and files an affidavit that he or she purchased the property 
under such contract and is responsible under the contract for payment of the taxes. In addition, if the claimant is married and does not own 
property eligible for the full amount of the exemption, property of the spouse may be exempt for the unused balance of the exemption.
CLAIMANTS WITH MORE THAN ONE TAXABLE PROPERTY
Passage of the Property Tax Relief Act of 1972 makes the choice of the property against which the veterans’ exemption is allowed when a claimant 
has more than one taxable property much more important than it previously was. A $7,000 homeowners’ exemption is available to owner-
occupants on January  1  each  year  of  a  single  living  unit,  whether  in  a  separate  or  a  multiple-unit  structure.  It  provided,  however,  that  the 
homeowners’ exemption and the veterans’ exemption were not allowable on the same property. Anyone who is eligible for a veterans’ exemption 
and owns taxable property other than his or her principal place of residence, whether in this county or elsewhere in California, will find it to his or 
her advantage to claim the veterans’ exemption on such other property. For example, if you own and occupy a home assessed at $14,000 and 
own other property assessed at $2,000, you may claim the homeowners’ exemption on the home and the veterans’ exemption on the other 
property. If both claims are approved, your total exempt assessed value will be $9,000 ($7,000 on the home plus $2,000 on the other property) 
rather than the $4,000 that would be exempt if you claimed the veterans’ exemption on your home. See instructions for question 14.
CLAIMANTS WITH ONLY ONE TAXABLE PROPERTY
If  your  dwelling  is  the  only  taxable  property  you  own  or  are  purchasing  and  is  your  principal  place  of  residence,  you  will  find  it  to  your 
advantage to claim the $7,000 homeowners’ exemption. If the property you own is not eligible for the homeowners’ exemption or it is not your 
principal place of residence, file your veterans’ exemption claim. To become eligible for the homeowners’ exemption, obtain a copy of the form 
on which to claim this exemption from the Assessor, complete it, and file it with the Assessor by February 15.
Check yes or no wherever boxes for such entries are provided. Where dollar amounts are to be entered, show amounts as of 12:01 a.m., January 1.
Question 1.        MY LEGAL RESIDENCE ON JANUARY 1 WAS — Enter street number, city, state and zip code where you live when not called elsewhere 
for labor or other special or temporary purposes and a telephone number where you can be reached. There can be only one legal residence. 
The intent of the applicant that a certain place is his residence must be coupled with the substantial physical presence of the applicant at that 
place. However, a person serving in the armed forces does not lose residence by reason of being stationed outside of the state of his or her 
residence.  Likewise, the fact that a member of the armed forces  is present in California does not make him a legal resident. A member not 
claiming residence in the State of California should not complete this form, but should complete the form BOE-261-D, Soldier’s and Sailor’s Civil 
Relief Act Declaration, which can be obtained from the Assessor.
Question 2.       I AM SINGLE, MARRIED, WIDOW, WIDOWER, LEGALLY SEPARATED, DIVORCED, PENSIONED PARENT. MY SPOUSE’S NAME IS — Check 
the appropriate box. Check “Divorced” only if the decree is final. If you are a married man, enter the first name, initial, and maiden name of 
your wife. The pension referred to here is based upon the service of a deceased veteran.
Question 3.           REAL ESTATE LOCATED IN      (this)        COUNTY — All your parcels in this county must be listed here. If parcel numbers 
are  preprinted  in  this  question,  you  need  only  check  the  accuracy  of  those  numbers  listed  and  add  any  that  have  been  omitted.  If  parcel 
numbers are not preprinted, enter the parcel number from your tax bill. If you do not have a parcel number, enter the legal description of 
the property, listing either the section, township, and range, or the lot, block, and tract, or the metes and bounds description from your deed. 
(Unless otherwise requested, the Assessor will allow the exemption on properties in the order in which they are listed in the answer to this 
question.) If you desire that the exemption be applied to other property, you must check one of the boxes in question 14.
Question 4.           REAL ESTATE LOCATED OUTSIDE (this)         COUNTY — All your parcels outside this county must be listed here. Enter the 
name of the county seat and the name of the state as well as the parcel number (if any) or other legal description in sufficient detail so that 
the property can be identified. If the property is located in California, enter the assessed value if known (from a tax bill); if located outside the 
State of California, enter the market value of the property.
Question 5.           BOAT/AIRCRAFT — Enter the California C.F. number of the boat or the F.A.A. number of the aircraft. Show location information in 
sufficient detail so that the boat or aircraft can be located by a field deputy.

BOE-261 (S2B) REV.  9 (8-06)
Question 6.     INTEREST IN AN UNINCORPORATED BUSINESS OR FARM — Enter the name and the address of the business or the address of the farm 
in sufficient detail so that the business or agricultural property statement can be located by the Assessor. If you are a partner, enter the combined 
interest of yourself and your spouse in the business or farm, such as 50%, 33 1/3%, etc. Whether requested by the Assessor or not, you must file 
a Business or Agricultural Property Statement with the Assessor of the county in which the property is located. Your business vehicles should be 
reported in question 10. The value of your interest in an incorporated business should be reported in question 9. Because inventory, business cash 
on hand, checking accounts, accounts receivable, and other nonassessable business assets are not included in the business or agricultural property 
statement, you should compute and enter the appropriate amount in the space provided. If you have cattle, sheep, or racehorses that have not 
been reported to the Assessor on a property statement or the annual racehorse tax forms, list in the “Remarks” section the number of cattle and 
sheep by type, age, and sex and the name and location of each racehorse. The value of the animals listed in the “Remarks” section should not be 
included in the amount entered in answer to question 6; the Assessor will determine the value of these animals.
Question 7.     MY HOUSEHOLD FURNISHINGS AND PERSONAL EFFECTS ARE LOCATED AT — Enter the street address and city or other specific 
location. A post office box number is not acceptable.
Question 8.     REPORT ALL CASH IN POSSESSION, IN SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES, AND IN PERSONAL CHECKING AND SAVING ACCOUNTS IN BANKS, 
SAVINGS AND LOAN, BUILDING AND LOAN, POSTAL SAVINGS, CREDIT UNIONS, ETC. — Enter the total amount of all funds placed in the above or 
similar type organizations; include cash in your possession or place of safekeeping. Do not include the same amounts covered in question 6. If 
these are joint accounts with persons other than your spouse, give details in the “Remarks” section.
Question 9.     STOCKS AND BONDS (listed or unlisted), INCLUDING MUTUAL FUNDS AND U.S. BONDS — Enter the name of the issuing corporation 
or government, quantity held, market value as of the close of business the end of December (12:01 a.m., January 1) and the total value of the stocks 
or bonds; attach a separate sheet if needed. If your own business is incorporated, enter the market value of the shares which you own as of 12:01 
a.m., January 1.
Question 10.    AUTOMOBILES, TRUCKS, TRAILERS, MOTORCYCLES, ETC.: REGISTERED IN MY NAME, MY SPOUSE’S NAME, OR NAME OF MY BUSINESS 
— List the registered owner correctly. If the automobile is owned by two or more people, as in the case of a partnership, your proportionate share 
of the value will be used. The Assessor determines the value based on the information furnished. The license fee and the class can be found on 
the registration slip of the vehicle. If a trailer, show total fees in “License Fee” column and size of unit in “Model” column. Where applicable, indicate 
a double-unit mobile home by writing “dble” to the left of the name of the registered owner. List unlicensed vehicles (mini-bikes, dune buggies, 
snowmobiles, etc.) in the “REMARKS” area; show year, make, model, and cost.
Question 11.    MONEY OWED TO ME AND/OR MY SPOUSE ON MORTGAGES, TRUST DEEDS, PERSONAL LOANS, ETC. — Enter the face value of debts 
owed to you or your spouse less any repayments to and including the last day in December. If in your opinion, the debts have a present cash value 
less than this amount, explain in the “Remarks” section.
Question 12.    CASH OR LOAN VALUE (NOT FACE VALUE) OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES — Include each policy which can be cashed in by you or 
your spouse, whether or not you desire to cash it in or obtain a loan, and whether or not either of you is the insured or the beneficiary. You may 
determine the amount of cash or loan value by referring to the table provided in your policy. Take the figure (usually stated as a certain amount per 
$1,000 of insurance) for the current anniversary date and multiply it by the number of multiples of $1,000 in the face amount of the policy. From 
this amount, deduct any indebtedness to the company on or secured by the policy.
Question 13.    ANY OTHER INVESTMENTS OR INTERESTS IN PROPERTY. IF YES, SHOW TYPE, LOCATION, AND VALUE OF EACH ITEM 
ON THE REVERSE SIDE — List on the reverse side of the form any other property not included in questions 3-12. On the front of 
the form enter the total value of the items listed on the reverse side. Examples of items that might be entered are: 1. Livestock 
not reported in question 6; 2. Riding horses; 3. Cabin on government or other leased land; 4. Furniture or goods in a warehouse;  
5. Property owned in part by other than the claimant or spouse (explain); 6. Membership in country clubs and similar organizations where the
membership can be sold for cash; 7. Funds or property held in your name or for your account or benefit by a trustee when you have the power 
to revoke the trust; 8. Interest in pension or retirement funds and profit-sharing plans to the extent such interest can be withdrawn or otherwise 
used without interruption in employment.
Question 14.    I ELECT TO HAVE THE VETERANS’ EXEMPTION APPLIED TO — After reading the paragraph on the previous page headed “Claimants 
with more than one taxable property,” insert numbers in the boxes to indicate the order in which you wish the veterans’ exemption applied. If you 
wish the exemption applied to property located outside this county, you must contact the Assessor of this county and complete an additional form. 
Taxable properties to which the exemption may be applied are those located in California and reported in answer to questions 3, 4, and 5, part of 
those reported in answer to question 6 and possibly some of those reported in answer to question 13. Non-veterans as well as veterans are exempt 
from taxation on items reported in answer to questions 7 to 12, inclusive, and some items that claimants would report in answer to questions 6 
and 13; the veterans’ exemption need not be applied to these properties.
CERTIFICATION — The claim may be signed (a) by the person entitled to the exemption (the veteran, the veteran’s widow or widower, the veteran’s 
pensioned mother, or the veteran’s pensioned father), (b) the claimant’s spouse, or (c) a legal guardian or conservator of the claimant or one granted 
a power of attorney by the claimant. A member of the veteran’s immediate family other than the spouse (such as parent, child, brother, or sister) 
may sign only under one or more of the following conditions; (a) the veteran is in active military service of the United States or an allied nation 
during time of war, (b) the veteran is outside the continental limits of the United States, (c) the veteran is insane or mentally incompetent. When a 
claim is signed by a legal guardian or conservator or a person holding power of attorney, the agent should sign his or her own name and enter his 
legal capacity below the signature; he or she should then complete the certificate on the back of the claim form.
