Whenever a time-share project becomes subject to separate assessment, it shall continue to be so subject in subsequent fiscal years and once a request for separate assessment is made, it is binding on all future owners and occupants of the project. (b) The interest in a time-share project that is to be separately assessed is the value of the right of recurrent, exclusive use or occupancy of real property, annually or on some other periodic basis, for a period of time that has been, or will be, allotted from the use or occupancy periods into which the project has been divided.

A plot map of the land showing the location of the improvements on the land need not be filed unless requested by the assessor. The organization shall file an annual statement for each succeeding assessment year, on or before April 1, with the assessor, setting forth any changes to the required information known to the organization. The list or other information provided pursuant to this section is not a public document and shall not be open to public inspection, except as provided in Section 408 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(h) The assessor shall provide to the principal office of each time-share project within the taxing jurisdiction, at that time and in that manner as he or she deems appropriate, adequate notice of the provisions of this section and other pertinent information relative to the implementation thereof. (i) The county may charge a fee for processing the application for separate assessment and for the initial and ongoing costs of separate assessment and implementing subdivision (g), not to exceed the actual costs.
