What is Business Personal Property?

Any item such as furniture, machinery,etc, that a company uses to conduct business is referred to as business personal property Few states do not tax business personal property whereas the others do Some states tax both tangible and intangible assets

Business Personal Property Tax Business personal property taxes are based on the value of tangible personal property used in a business.

Tangible personal property can be touched or felt.

OfďŹ ce furniture, computers, heavy equipment, vehicles and inventory are tangible personal property.

Business enterprise value, bonds, accounts receivable and contracts (leases) are intangible personal property.

Only tangible personal property is subject to property taxes. Intangible personal property is exempt in all 50 states in the US. Business personal property taxes are an ad valorem tax; they are based on the market value of the property.

Business Personal Property Tax Rendition Business personal property is taxable in most states. Assessors request that businesses provide a list of its business personal property.

The form used by assessors request a summary based on category of property and the amount for each category purchased annually for the last 15 to 20 years. Assessors have forms that look ofďŹ cial and necessary.

However, most states simply require a property owner to render information regarding their business personal property. In most cases, it is possible to provide an estimate of the value of business personal property instead of providing the detailed ďŹ xed asset listing.

This approach saves time and reduces business personal property taxes.
