Personal Property Taxes

 

Lee County personal property is taxed on vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers), mobile homes, merchant’s capital, machinery and tools, business property, minerals under development and public service. Vehicle assessments are based on ownership as of January 1st. Lee County does not prorate. Any one moving into the County during the year or any person purchasing a new car during the year would not be liable for personal property tax during the current taxable year. However, anyone moving out of the county is liable for the entire year’s tax on the vehicles owned and licensed as of January 1.  

 

The personal property tax rate is set by the Board of Supervisors. There is a three year statute of limitations for adjustments.
