The Whitfield County Board of Assessors has mailed personal property returns on around 7,000 personal property accounts. The last day to submit a timely return is Monday, April 1. A 10 percent penalty will be assessed on returns submitted after the April 1 deadline.
Personal property in Georgia includes any furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery and inventory used in the normal course of business. Returns also must be filed on aircraft and marine vessels. If you own furnished rental property, all appliances, furniture and fixtures should be returned.
Personal property taxpayers can file their returns a variety of ways.
