How and when is my personal property valued?

The value of your personal property is based on information submitted by you on your Personal Property Declaration Schedule, which is sent to you in January. You must return (file) your Personal Property Declaration Schedule by no later than April 15th of each year. The information you provide on your Personal Property Declaration Schedule includes the original cost or the item and the year the item was put in service. A depreciation schedule is used to adjust the value of the item according to type and industrial life span of the personal property. If you fail to return your Personal Property Declaration Schedule, the value of your personal property will be determined using “the best information available.”
