Benton County reminds businesses of March 15 deadline for Business Personal Property Returns

As the deadline approaches for Business Personal Property Returns, Benton County is reminding business owners to submit returns by March 15, 2024.

All businesses, including those operating as sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, and LLCs, are required to file returns annually. The Business Personal Property Return includes information about assets such as equipment, machinery, furniture, and fixtures used in the operation of a business.

Oregon state law mandates that all business personal property be assessed for taxation purposes. These assessments are used to determine property taxes owed by businesses and are an essential source of revenue for funding local government services, including schools, roads, and public safety.

Failure to submit the Business Personal Property Return by the March 15 deadline may result in late filing penalties.

Business owners can obtain the necessary forms and instructions for filing their Business Personal Property Returns from the Benton County Assessor’s Office website or by contacting the office directly at 541-766-6855. Additionally, the Assessor’s Office staff are available to assist businesses with any questions or concerns they may have regarding the filing process.

For more information or assistance regarding Business Personal Property Returns, please contact the Benton County Assessor’s Office.
