April 30 deadline for business, property taxes
The Royal Register News
EPHRATA - The deadline for filing Business Personal Property Returns with the Grant County Assessor's Office is April 30, Grant County Assessor Melissa McKnight reminds.
Delinquent listings postmarked after April 30 will be subject to a 5 percent penalty per month, up to a maximum of 25 percent of the original tax, she said.
Most personal property owned by individuals is exempt and is not subject to property tax. However if these items are used in a business, property tax then applies. All personal property used for farm and commercial businesses must be filed with the county every year.
Personal property is all equipment, furniture, fixtures, small tools, computer software, machinery, irrigation and supplies used for the business. This includes office, hotels, apartments, retail, manufacturing, farming, etc. Household furnishings are exempt and need not be listed.
If a taxpayer has not yet received a personal property tax form in the mail, one may be obtained from the Grant County Assessor's Office. For further information, call 754-2011 ext. 2608
