What happens if personal property taxes become delinquent?
The non-payment of personal property taxes could result in seizure of the personal property. If you have a dispute, pay the taxes and pursue action to show why reimbursement should be made. Once the opportunity to appeal with the Board of Review has passed and a tax bill has been issued, the assessment and tax bill are both valid and the tax is not refundable. The Treasurer or other collection officer is authorized to padlock the business and seize and sell personal property if personal property taxes remain unpaid.
