Tangible personal property is physical property located in a business and rental property that can be moved. These include items such as furniture, fixtures, and equipment in a business and rental property, as well as structural additions to mobile homes.
Tangible personal property taxes are collected on an annual basis. Taxes are determined by the value of the assets used in a business to get income. They are ad valorem taxes, based on property values reported by each business, from which a final assessed value, as of Jan. 1, is determined by the property appraiser. Anyone in possession of assets on Jan. 1 must file a tangible personal property tax form by April 1 of each year.
The Property Appraiser’s Office assesses the value of tangible personal property and presents a certified tax roll to the Tax Collector.
We strongly recommend that you submit your payments online or by mail rather than visiting the Public Service Office.

By April 30, the Tax Collector prepares warrants against delinquent taxpayers. Within 30 days after the warrant is prepared, the Tax Collector applies to the circuit court for an order directing levy and seizure of property for the amount of unpaid taxes and costs. Unpaid taxes are addressed by the Enforcement and Collection Section. These can be paid online if all current and prior year tax is paid in one transaction.
