Agricultural Personal Property Affidavits

Within the last week or so, we have mailed out the personal property affidavits to the ranchers in our county. These forms should be returned to our office by July 31st of this year. For those of you who will file for the first time, this affidavit should be mailed in with a list of any equipment you use to run your agricultural operation. For example, saddles and tack, squeeze cages, powder river panels, and any machinery or equipment you use to run your ranch are all examples of what should be listed on the form. If you have vehicles used for the ranch which are licensed for the road, you need not list them as you are already paying taxes on them when you renew your registration. If you have questions as to how to fill the affidavit out, or about what to put on your personal property list, be sure to give us a call so that we can help you.
