Business Personal Property Rendition Want Help?

Business personal property renditions are complex.

The appraisal district guidance for BPP renditions is not in your best interest. O’Connor provides a complimentary evaluation of whether you should render. In some cases, rendering will radically increase your business personal property (BPP) taxes. Our free evaluation allows you to decide whether it makes more sense for you to render or pay the 10% penalty.

For taxation purposes, your property is classified as either real property (land, buildings, and other items attached
to land) or personal property (items that can be owned but are not attached to land). Tangible personal property
that you use to produce income is subject to taxation in the state of Texas.

Tangible personal property includes such things as furniture, fixtures, inventories, equipment, motor vehicles,
vessels, and aircraft. These items are typically referred to as business personal property.

Rendering is not difficult but does require in depth knowledge of requirements and the law. Several of the most common pitfalls are:

  • Intangible personal property, such as software, is not taxable and should be excluded from the amount rendered. This includes software in vehicles, office equipment, and machinery.
  • Should you render cost and year of acquisition or estimated market value?
  • Tenant improvements or capital costs for real estate (HVAC, driveway, roof) are real estate and should not be rendered.
  • Rendering when it will sharply increase your BPP taxes.

O'Connor’s free evaluation will help you make key decisions including:

1) Should you render?

2) Should you render with cost or estimated value?
