An Important Message From The Assessor
All business property filers can now electronically file (e-file) their property statements directly with the Assessor Office using either the Megabyte Systems Online Business Property Filing (OBPF) network or the California Assessors Association Shared Services Standard Data Record (SDR & e-SDR) electronic-filing network.
Business property filers who annually file either an Agricultural Property Statement, Form 571-F or a Business Property Statement, Form 571-L will receive a letter after March 1, 2019 that contains a Business Identification Number (BIN#) which is a unique, private and secure access code that each individual business can use to e-file their annual business property statement. Click on https://obpfn.mptsweb.com/OBPFN/obpf/imperial to access the OBPF network.
Financial institutions and insurance companies that file Form 571-LA and multi-residential property owners who file Form 571-R will received a letter after January 22, 2019 that contains a Business Identification Number (BIN#). These businesses can e-file by clicking on http://public.calbpsfile.org to access the California Assessor Association SDR/e-SDR network and view the e-file instructions.
