An important piece of paper in the Appraiser's Office is the Ad Valorem Tax Return also referred to as a Rendition, or Statement of Personal Property. This form is very similar to the Notice of Value.
The Rendition:
- Should be received by the taxpayer at the end of December or right after January 1.
- Verify ownership and location of personal property as of January 1 of the forthcoming taxable year.
- The taxpayer should review the information listed on Rendition. If any items have been sold or purchased, the taxpayer should make those notations on this page. The Appraiser's Office needs a copy of a bill of sale or something in writing stating who now owns the property or who the property was purchased from.
- Verity that the mailing address, phone number and location address of property is correct.
- Sign, date and return the Rendition by March 15.
If this form is not returned to the Appraiser's Office by March 15 late filing penalties will be applied.
