What is
personal property
tax for?
This tax is on
tangible personal
property when it is
used in the business
conducted for
profit, gain or
income, for example,
machinery,
furniture, fixtures
or supplies.
Who must
file?
If you are engaged
in business in Ohio
and have property
located in Ohio on
January 1st and have
a total listed value
of more than
$10,000.00 you must
file.
Why do we
owe this tax when we
paid previously in
the year?
When the taxpayer
files their return,
you may pay only
half of the total
tax due. If only
half of the tax is
paid, you will
receive a bill to be
paid in September,
which is the second
half of your
personal property
tax.
Where may I
obtain a form to
prepare my taxes for
this year?
Form 920 is used if
you are filing for
Greene County; one
half of the total
tax is due upon
filing. If business
is conducted in more
than one county in
Ohio, Form 945 must
be filed with the
State of Ohio. No
payment is due upon
filing.
Why did I
get a bill when I no
longer own the
business?
If a company is in
business as of
January 1 of that
year, a return must
be filed and a tax
is charged.
I have an
error on my bill,
who should I
contact?
If the error appears
on a regular Greene
County personal
property bill, then
the County Auditor
would need to be
notified. If the
error is on an add
(supplemental) bill,
you must contact the
Tax Commissioner of
the State of Ohio.
You may contact them
at 1-800-282-1780.
Can I pay my
taxes with my credit
card?
Yes, this
option is
available.
