Personal property forms due soon

Douglas County taxpayers have until March 17 to file 2008 personal property assessment forms.

The deadline was extended from March 15, which is a Saturday, according to the Douglas County Appraiser’s office.

Assessment forms were mailed in January to personal property owners. The forms must be signed and returned to the appraiser’s office in the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

The completed assessment form should contain a list of taxable personal property such as boats, personal watercraft, trailers, mobile homes, airplanes, large trucks, mopeds and business equipment.

If you need a form and didn’t receive one, it can be obtained at the appraiser’s office. Call 832-5289. Late filers will be charged a penalty.
