"The Business Personal Property Tax 101 guide focuses on accurate classification, showing how to separate Business Personal Property from non‑taxable intangibles and from real estate components. Tangible property is described as anything that can be moved, seen, and touched vehicles, tools, office systems, and stock while cash, stocks, contracts, trade secrets, and business processes fall outside the tangible Personal Property Tax base. O’Connor explains why mixing these categories, or allowing bundled costs like freight, installation, or R&D to flow into the taxable value, can lead to overstated Business Property Tax. The content emphasizes that although personal property appraisal shares theory with real estate valuation, it depends on different data and requires careful judgment to extract the tangible portion from a combined cost. This is where O’Connor’s Tax Reduction Experts and long experience in Property Tax Valuation can provide practical, service‑oriented help rather than guesswork.
