ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORTING
Unlike real property, personal property is not subject to Proposition 13 limitations and guidelines. Each year’s assessment stands on its own and should generally be protested if the market value exceeds the assessed value. Business Property (personal property and fixtures), are valued as of January 1 of each year. The Assessor determines the value of your personal property as a result of your annual filing of the Business Property Statement (Form 571-L).
Most businesses report their fixed assets annually on Form 571-L but never know how the Assessor arrives at a value. The appraisers at ACS excel in making sure that your personal property taxes are fair and reasonable.
