​YORK COUNTY – The Nebraska Department of Revenue (Property Assessment Division) and the York County Assessor’s Office say owners of destroyed property need to file their reports before July 15.

​YORK – York County Assessor Kurt Bulgrin reminds owners of depreciable taxable tangible personal property that their Nebraska Personal Property returns and schedules must be filed on or before May 1 with the assessor’s office.
A Nebraska personal property return and schedule must be filed for all depreciable tangible personal property which is owned or held on Jan. 1 at 12:01 a.m., of each year, or leased from or to another person.
Deadline dates and penalties: If after May 1 but on or before June 30, 10% of the tax due on the value will be added; if after July 1, 25% of the tax due on the value will be added.
Bulgrin also wants to remind taxpayers how “the postal service is no longer postmarking mail on the day mail is received. There have been questions about this because most Nebraska statutes allow filings to be considered timely if the postmark date is on or before the due date. The United States Postal Service provides hand-stamped postmarks at the time of mailing if requested. Taxpayers who are concerned they may miss the filing deadline should personally deliver their mail to the post office and request a hand-stamped postmark at the time of mailing. For mail received without a postmark or valid metered date, the department of revenue considers that mail received on the previous business day.”
Personal property returns can of course be physically delivered to the assessor’s office, as well as left in the secured drop box on the west side of the York County Courthouse.
