Ownership Change
The Process
If you transfer a Property we currently manage to an entity you own...
If the Tax ID has changed, we are required to create a new owner account in AppFolio, as this affects IRS reporting and 1099 issuance.
In this case, we will need the following:
A completed W-9 for the new entity
A new Management Agreement
Updated Proof of Insurance for the entity
Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t you just change the name on file?
Yes—only if you filed a name change with the Secretary of State and the Tax ID (EIN or SSN) remains the same. If the Tax ID has changed, a new owner account must be created in AppFolio.
Will I receive two 1099s this year?
Yes. Each Tax ID that receives income from us will receive a separate 1099.
Can I schedule the change for a future date?
Absolutely. We can set the new entity to take effect on a future date, such as January 1st of the next year.
How do I notify you of the effective date?
Just submit the change using the appropriate form in the Request Form Library.
