About

Tangible personal property is everything other than real estate that has value by itself. It includes furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies, leased equipment and any other equipment used in a business.

Florida Statute 193.052 requires that all tangible personal property be reported each year to the Property Appraiser?s Office. If you receive a return, it is because our office has determined that you have property to report. If you feel the form does not apply to you, return it to us with an explanation. In any case, the form must be returned to the Property Appraiser?s Office.

Anyone in possession of assets on January 1 who has either a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employed agent or contractor, must file each year. Property owners who lease or rent property to others must also file.

The last day to submit a return without any penalties is April 1. Penalties are applied at 5% per month or portion of a month that the return is late. A 25% penalty will be placed if a tax return is not filed and a 15% penalty can be placed for unreported assets.  You may request a 30-day extension of filing date by using the extension request feature on this site or submitting an online request here before March 31st , the last day to submit a TPP Tax Return.
