Personal Property lists should indicate the property that was owned on January 1st of each year, including all such property purchased on that day.
Personal Property Assessment lists are due by March 1st of every year. Assessment lists received after the March 1st date are subject to penalties by law.
In Cole County, your personal property assessment list is mailed with your tax bill in November. We ask that you hold the form and not turn it in until after January 1. This system allows us to save taxpayer dollars on mailing costs.
For help with Personal Property please call 634-9131.
You may file online by selecting the "ONLINE ASSESSMENT" button on the Assessor Homepage from January through March each calendar year.
