Personal property includes machinery, equipment, computers, furniture, signs, etc. used by the business.
Recent change in personal property taxation may exempt certain personal property owners from property tax. The change created two possible ways to receive the exemption both require filing form 5076, each of the two possible exemptions listed below.
Situation “A”) If the combined total personal property under their CONTROL (possession) different from OWNED is less than 80,000.
