The County Appraiser’s Office would like to remind those who have personal property to make sure they report to our office any personal property they own before Monday, March 15.
The owners of taxable personal property are required by law to list their property each year with the county appraiser. [K.S.A. 79-1411b].
A penalty is added if the March 15 deadline for filing is not met. This does not refer to real estate.
Personal property renditions were mailed in January to those already on file as owning personal property.
If you did not receive one and questions whether you should have, you may contact Robin Taylor at rtaylor@mcphersoncountyks.us or call -241-5870.
An explanation of personal property can be found online at http://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/ppsumm.pdf. Here is a list off that Web site.
•Aircraft – airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, ultra lights, etc.
•Off Road Vehicles –snowmobiles, golf carts, off road motorcycles, mopeds, ATVs, RUVs, etc.
•Watercraft – inboard and outboard boats, boat motors, boat trailers, sailboats, houseboats, pontoons, canoes, jet skis, etc.
•Truck Campers and Travel Trailers – which do not meet statutory requirements for an “RV” Title.
•Trailers (non-commercial use) – utility trailers, horse trailers, snowmobile and motorcycle trailers, or any other trailer used by an individual for personal use.
