Late Assessment Penalty Information:

All businesses and residents (exempt and non-exempt) are required to report their personal property assessment each year before May 31. After May 31, a 10% penalty will be applied to late assessments, regardless of exempt status. Penalty is based on 10% of the assessed value (on all assets not assessed). The purchase price (or state value, whichever is used) less depreciation, multiplied by 20% gives the value. That value multiplied by 10% gives you the penalty. EXAMPLE: Purchase price = $5,000 less depreciation (1,100 depends on asset) = $3900 x 20% (assessed value) = 780. 780 x 10% = 78 penalty. This is not dollars. It is 10% of the assessed value. To relay this into dollars take the 78 multiplied by the school district millage rate where the item is kept (example is .0527). 78 x .0527 = $4.11.
