Who needs to file?

Anyone owning and/or leasing tangible personal property prior to July 1, 2006 with the intent to establish a business (home occupations included) whether as an individual, corporation, or partnership, must file a Commercial Personal Property Statement with the County Appraiser's Office per Kansas Statute 79-303 and 79-306.

How do I file? 

Any tangible personal property that is used to produce income prior to July 1, 2006 or is depreciated or expensed for IRS purposes (except state assessed property and motor vehicles) is assessable as Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (CIME).  Assets which have a "retail cost when new" of $1,500 or less and are stand alone items are exempt; however, it’s requested that you list these items.

Are there any filing deadlines?

Yes, per Kansas Statute 79-306, the deadline for rendering personal property is March 15th of each year.  To avoid incurring state mandated penalties, renditions must be filed by the deadline date.  Counties have no authority to abate, waive, or refund the penalty mandated by K.S.A. 79-1422.  Only the Board of Tax Appeals has the authority to abate, waive, or refund the penalty.
