Starting May 17th, 2011 the Dallas Central Appraisal District will start sending notices of appraised value for Business Personal Property and Leased Equipment. This will be the first of two mailings of personal property and leased equipment. The second mailing will take place May 24th, 2011. Thus, there will be two different protest deadlines.
The deadlines to file a property tax protest on your Personal Property and Leased Equipment in for Dallas County taxes will be June 16th, 2011 if you were mailed a notice from the May 17th or 1st mailing. The deadline for a property tax protest from the second mailing will be June 23rd for notices mailed on May 24th.
The Texas Property Code states that a owner of personal property or Leased Equipment shall render a rendition of value by April 15th of each year. If an extesion is not granted or a rendition is not filed at all, a penalty of 10% of the taxes imposed on the property for the present year shall be applied to your tax bill.
