Personal Property - Class 8
Personal Property refers to personal property of businesses including farms and ranches. If a business owns personal property that the statewide total, has market value of $20,000 or less, then the personal property is exempt from taxation.
The market value for machinery and equipment is usually determined through use of the "Green Guide" manual or by applying a percent-good factor to the F.O.B. or acquired cost.
An example: The 2009 tax calculation for miscellaneous furniture and fixtures acquired in 2006 for a lump sum of $34,000 would be as follows:
Acquired Cost = $34,000
Percent Good for the year new - from the appropriate schedule = 80%
Market Value = $27,200Current tax rate = x 3%
Taxable value = $816
Mill levy in the district where the property is located = .400
Tax = $326.40
