Personal Property Assessments
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 or online at
www.in.gov/dlgf
or
http://duboiscountyin.org/forms/index.html
. 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. Because May 15th is on a Saturday in 2010, forms
will be accepted on May 17th as timely filed.
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 in 2010.
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.
For any questions call the Dubois
County Assessor at (812) 481-7010.
Homestead Verification Form
Individuals and married couples are limited to one homestead standard
deduction. Property owners in Dubois County will receive an
additional form with their property tax bills this year if they are
currently receiving the Homestead Deduction. This pink form,
the
Homestead Verification Form, is to verify that only one homestead
deduction is filed, and will be mailed out with 2010, 2011, and 2012
tax bills. It is required to be filled out at least once by
January 1, 2013 for the Homestead Deduction to be verified.
Individuals or married couples claiming the deduction must complete
this form to verify eligibility and to provide identification numbers
(the last five digits of both the driver’s license and social security
numbers), which will be used to populate a secure homestead database
and prevent homestead fraud. The form is not required to be returned in
person, but must be returned to the Dubois County Auditor for the
Homestead Deduction to be verified. More information on the
form
can be obtained from the DLGF
Website. A sample Homestead Verification Form can be
viewed here.
