What this form is
The form collects information about taxable business personal property, including equipment, supplies, vehicles, and leased items, for the Town Assessor’s assessment. Owners complete the declaration and its required reports; an owner who no longer has previously assessed property can instead return the business termination, move, or sale affidavit with supporting information. The form says the declaration must be signed before filing and warns that improperly signed declarations may incur a penalty.
Who needs it
Owners of taxable personal property assessed in their name should file the declaration, while owners who no longer have that property should return the applicable affidavit to the Assessor.
