1. I have started a new business in the County, when and where do I need to list?

The listing period for business personal property begins the first business day of January and extends through January 31 or the next business day if the last day falls on a weekend or state holiday. All forms must have a US Post Office post mark stamped no later than January 31. Forms may be obtained in the Tax Assessor’s office located at 507 W Covington Street Laurinburg, NC 28352.

2. May I get an extension on listing my business personal property?

Yes. You will need to write a letter requesting an extension. It must have a US Post Office post mark stamped no later than January 31st. The letter must state good cause for the request. Extensions may be granted until April 15th of the tax year.

3. What if the business fails to list timely with the Assessor’s office?

If a business fails to apply for and receive and extension, and lists after January 31, a 10% penalty will be applied to the total taxes due. Also, a business that has requested an extension of time, but fails to list by April 15th, will also be penalized 10% of the tax amount.
