PERSONAL PROPERTY FILING INSTRUCTIONS
You may file your Personal Property Declaration Schedule electronically by using our online form.
It is not necessary to use this format. You can submit the information in a Word document or in an Excel worksheet or anything similar. If you use the online form, please fill it out as completely as possible and submit your completed form.
The information requested is a brief description of your personal property
• For rental property this is generally the household furnishings – for example a stove, refrigerator, dining room table and chairs, bar stools, and bedroom furniture
• For commercial businesses this is generally a computer, point of sale systems, desks, conference tables, chairs, copiers, etc.
Secondly, we need to know the original installed cost of each item.
And finally, we ask for the year in which the item(s) were acquired. In order to fairly and equitably depreciate your personal property we need to know how old the furnishings and or equipment are.
Note: If you do not know the exact cost or year, we will accept your best estimate of what the items may cost in a used furniture store or business supply outlet -- a comparison to garage sale prices is not an accurate representation of true market value.
You may also Fax the information to 970.453.3481 or send in the Declaration by mail to the Summit County Assessor
PO Box 276
Breckenridge CO 80424-0276
All information must be submitted by April 15th to insure timely filing and the avoidance of late fees.
Please contact me if you have any questions at personalproperty@co.summit.co.us or by phone at 970.453.3486.
Thank you.
