Notice of Valuation - Personal

Annual Notice of Full Cash Value

(Personal Property)

Personal property can include mobile homes, manufactured housing, park models, and business personal property.

On or before August 30 the assessor shall mail a notice of valuation to each owner of record of personal property. The Notice of Valuation includes the property's Full Cash Value (FCV), Limited Property Value (LPV), and Property Classification of the property.

 

If the Property Owner Does Not Agree With the FCV or Property Classification

Step 1 - File a Petition for Review With the County Assessor

If you believe that the "Full Cash Value" is greater than the market value of the property and/or the property classification is incorrect, you can file a Petition for Review with the County Assessor within 30 calendar days of when the Notice of Valuation was mailed.

The person who owns, controls, or possesses the property or their representative must sign the petition and mail or hand deliver one copy of the petition to the Assessor of the county in which the property is located. The filing deadline may be printed on the Notice of Valuation.

FORMS

Personal Property Petition for Review of Valuation (DOR 82530)

Step 2 – Further the Appeal to the Board of Equalization

If the County Assessor agrees with the appeal request, no further appeal is permitted.

However, you may decide to bypass the Board and appeal directly to the Tax Court within 60 calendar days of the date the assessor's decision was mailed.
