When it comes to filing ad valorem tax returns, the problem with fixed asset
accounting systems is that they are not designed for effective reporting of
taxable assets.
The ability to eliminate or exempt items in existing
books and records which can be reclassified is the key to reaching equitable
assessments.
CTN specializes in this aspect as well. Our team of
skilled personal property tax consultants can reclassify the unnecessary items
in your existing books and much more.
Personal Property Procedures
- Verify all county information with property owner
(ex. Square footage, ownership, type of business, state of assessment, etc.)
- Physical site inspection and pictures of property if necessary
- Obtain information from either the property owner, CPA, Controller,
or Office Manager (ex. IRS Return, balance sheet, asset lists, etc.)
- Review all information to arrive at the depreciation value based
on the county laws and procedures
- File the rendition
- File protest on accounts that are over assessed
- Attend hearing
