Gail Gramelspacher, Assessor of Dubois County, reminds all taxpayers that it is time to file personal property assessments.  The forms are now available from the County Assessor, Township Contact Person or online at www.in.gov/dlgf .  Every person owning, holding or controlling taxable personal property which is subject to assessment and tax is required to file a form.  The deadline for filing is May 15th.
     Taxpayers are no longer required to file a Form 101.  All RVs, travel trailers etc that were once assessed on the Form 101 will now be taxed at the license branch beginning in 2010.  Taxpayers will still receive a tax bill in 2009 for all assessments that were filed in 2008.
     Persons owning farm personal property are required to file forms 102 and 104.
     Those owning business personal property are required to file forms 103 and 104.
 As of January 1, 2008 inventory is no longer assessed.
     Failure to file a return by May 15th will result in a $25 penalty.  In addition, if the return is not filed within 30 days after the return is due, a penalty of 20% of the taxes due will be added.
     Taxpayers that filed a Personal Property Investment Deduction for the second year in 2008 must file this year to receive the third year of the deduction.  This deduction form is due by May 15th and must be filed with the personal property assessment forms. Only year three may be filed this year.
