Appraisal districts make 3 major mistakes in valuing your bpp: Using inaccurate depreciation tables - Appraisal districts use a physical-life depreciation schedule that grossly overvalued personal property. For example, district tables would value a 1-year old chair at 86 to 90% of its cost. Hence, a $300 chair would be valued at $252-$270, when its true value is likely $20-$50.
Taxing on intangible personal property - Only tangible personal property (items you can see, touch, feel and move) is taxable. If you have a $2,000,000 phone system the total cost includes tangible (plastic, metal, and silicone) and intangible (service agreements, software, and trade secrets) property. Districts encourage property owners to render the TOTAL cost, which is not correct.
Encouraging property owners to include inappropriate costs - Freight, setup costs, and specialized buildings to house equipment, while included in depreciation tables (appropriate for the IRS) are dead wrong for personal property taxation
The appeal deadline is soon. Whether or not you rendered your business personal property, you still needed to ďŹ le your appeal by the deadline.
