File a Personal Property Tax Statement

Paso 1.Check the annual filing requirements

Keep in mind that you need to file a personal property statement by February 20 of each year. This is mandated by state law (MCL 211.19). The only exception is if you're specifically exempt from personal property tax.

The law has changed for personal property exemptions. Download the annual filing requirements PDF from our Related Links section to ensure you file the appropriate forms on time.

It's a misdemeanor if you don't file by the due date. This will jeopardize your right to appeal your assessment with the State Tax Commission.

Paso 2.Make sure you’re prepared
