Personal Property consists of
Vehicles, Dish TV's, Swimming Pools, Cattle & Livestock,
Farm Machinery, Mobile Homes, ATV's, and so on. The
following are a few common questions in regards to Personal
Property.
____________________________________________________________
Q. I purchased a vehicle but it
is not listed on my tax statement?
A. Did you purchase the vehicle before July 1 of the
previous year? If you did not purchase
it before July 1 of the previous year then it will not be on
this years tax ticket. If you did purchase it on or before
July 1 of the previous year then you need to visit the
Assessor's office.
_____________________________________________________
Q. There is a vehicle that I did
not own on July 1 of the previous year what should I do?
A. You need to go to the Assessor's Office in order to
straighten this out.
____________________________________________________________
Q. I received a supplemental tax
ticket from the Assessor, can I pay this in halves as well?
A. No, supplements must be paid in
full.
____________________________________________________________
Q. I lost my receipt where I
paid my Personal Property Taxes, can you give me another?
A. Yes, we can print you another receipt, however it will
cost a dollar per receipt.
_____________________________________________________________
Q. Can you fax me a copy of my
Personal Property Receipt?
A. No, due to previous
problems we do not fax any tax receipts.
____________________________________________________________
Q. When do personal property
become delinquent? Also, do they incur Publication fees &
Interest on this date?
A. The common thought among county residents are
that taxes go delinquent on April 30th. However, this is
incorrect! West Virginia State Code defines the date of
delinquency as April 1st. Publication fees & Interest are
not added until May 1st.
____________________________________________________________
Q. What can you do, outside of
publishing my name in the paper, if my personal property is
delinquent?
A. West Virginia State code grants the Sheriff
the right to repossess the vehicle until the taxes are paid,
however this has never been placed into practice. The code
also states that the Sheriff can sue the tax payers that are
delinquent. Along with the DMV offices we reject anyone's
license renewal that has delinquent taxes.
____________________________________________________________
Q. I realized after May 1st
that I have not paid my Personal Property taxes! Will my
name be published in the paper?
A. On May 1st publication
fees and interest are added to your taxes. However, if you
come in shortly after May 1st your taxes will be $3.00
higher (including publication fees & interest) to have your
name removed from the list. This fee will be kept on till
the list is taken to the Monroe Watchman.
____________________________________________________________
Q. Can I come in
after the Delinquent lists are taken to the Watchman and
have my name remove if I pay?
A. No. State Code says that once the
lists have been delivered to the Newspaper office there can
be no changes. |
