The La Plata County assessor reminds people owning, possessing or controlling taxable personal property that the deadline for filing a Personal Property Declaration Schedule is April 15.
People who own, possess or control taxable personal property with a total actual value greater than $7,700 per owner, per county, are required to report the personal property to the county assessor. This applies to all business owners, and property owners offering vacation rentals.
Failure to declare personal property each year by the deadline will result in the assessor valuing the property using the “best information available” and attaching a penalty to the tax bill.
Anyone who did not receive a declaration schedule should call the assessor at 382-6231.
