INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING
WELFARE EXEMPTION SUPPLEMENTAL AFFIDAVIT,
ORGANIZATIONS AND PERSONS USING CLAIMANT’S REAL PROPERTY
FILING OF AFFIDAVIT
This affidavit must be filed by the owner of real property when another organization or person uses that real property. A
separate affidavit must be filed for each location. This affidavit supplements the claim for welfare exemption, which must be
filed with the county assessor by February 15 to avoid a late filing penalty under Revenue and Taxation Code section 270.
The information provided on this affidavit is used by the assessor to determine how the property is being used and by whom.
If this form is not completed and the property is used by another party, the claimant/owner will be denied the exemption.
The welfare exemption requires that property be used exclusively for religious, charitable, hospital, or scientific purposes by
qualifying organizations; however, it does not require that the owner be the only user of the property. Therefore, an owner
may allow other organizations to use its property and still qualify for exemption, if the welfare exemption requirements are
met. In order for property owned by one organization and used by another to be eligible for the welfare exemption, the owner
and user of the property must be organized for exempt purposes and the property must be used for exempt purposes.
Organizations using the real property more than once a week must be exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of
section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or exempt from state franchise or income tax under the provisions of section
23701d of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Organizations using the property once a week or less may also be exempt under
501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code or 23701f or 23701w of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
In accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code section 254.5(b)(2), the assessor may institute an audit or verification of
the property’s use to determine whether both the owner and user of the property meet the requirements of Revenue and
Taxation Code section 214.
SECTION 1. Identification of Claimant/Owner and Property.
Identify the name of the organization that owns the real property (the claimant), and the address and Assessor’s
Parcel/Assessment Number of the property on which the exemption is being sought. Provide the organization’s corporate
identification number, if it is a nonprofit corporation, or number assigned by the Secretary of State, if it is a limited liability company.
SECTION 2. Organizations and Persons Using Owner’s Real Property.
State the total number of organizations and/or persons, other than the claimant, that use the claimant’s real property. Report
information on users during the calendar year immediately preceding the fiscal year of claim.
Part A – Must be completed for all users of the claimant’s real property.
a. Provide the name of the organization or person using the property, including the DBA name, if applicable.

footage used.
e. Check the appropriate box to indicate if the current lease or agreement is attached. Attach a copy of the current
lease or agreement, if not submitted with a previous filing. If you are not seeking exemption on this portion of the
property, as reported in item (f), lease submission is not necessary. However the Assessor may request information
to verify the square footage used.
f. Check the appropriate box to indicate if requesting exemption on the portion of the property used by the user. If yes,

c. State the rent or fees received from the user, including the amount and frequency.
d. Check the appropriate box to indicate if the user holds an OCC. If yes, provide the OCC number. Note: A user of the
property is not required to hold an OCC. If the user does not hold an OCC, the assessor may request additional
information.
e. Check the appropriate box(es) to indicate the purpose for which the organization is organized. If “Other” is checked,
specify the purpose.
f. Check the appropriate box(es) to indicate the tax exempt status of the user. If you are filing this affidavit with the
Claim for Welfare Exemption (First Filing) (BOE-267), submit a copy of the user’s tax exempt status letter. If you
are filing this affidavit with your annual filing (BOE-267-A), and the property is used by any organization(s) you
have not previously reported to the assessor, submit a copy of the tax exempt status letter for each new user.
