Personal Property Tax Returns

If you own a boat, personal watercraft, or aircraft in Banks County, you must submit a Personal Property Tax Return to determine the ad valorem tax due. If you own or operate a business in Banks County, you may be subject to Personal Property tax on any business related furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, and/or inventory. You are responsible for reporting all taxable personal property or penalties will be assessed. We will accept your Personal Property Tax Returns from January 1 to April 1. We do mail Personal Property Tax Return forms as a courtesy, but not receiving one does not relieve your responsibility for filing a return. If you have not received a Personal Property Tax Return and you need one, please let us know.

Personal property valued at $7,500 or less is automatically exempt from ad valorem taxes. The property, however must be returned, valued, and entered on the tax digest. Owners of personal property with a value of less than $7,500 will not receive a bill.
