Pecos County Appraisal District Reminds Businesses to Render their Taxable Property by April 15

If you own tangible personal property that is used to produce income, you must file a rendition

with the Pecos County Appraisal District by April 15, 2024.

A rendition is a report that lists all the taxable property you owned or controlled on Jan. 1 of

the year. Property includes inventory and equipment used by a business. Owners do not have to

render exempt property, such as church property or an agriculture producer’s equipment used for

farming.

“The appraisal district may use the information submitted in the rendition to set property values,”

said Sam Calderon III, Chief Appraiser.

You can also file a report or decreased value to notify the appraisal district of significant depreciation of your property. “For example, if your property was damaged by a storm, flood or fire last year, you should file a report of decreased value. The appraisal district will look at your property before assigning a value in 2024,” said Calderon.

The last day to file a rendition or report of decreased value is April 15, 2024. If a rendition is filed late or incomplete or not at all, a 10 percent to 50 percent penalty may be imposed. Property owners who need more time to file their rendition may file a written request with the chief appraiser on or before April 15 to receive an automatic extension to May 15 or the next business day. The chief appraiser may also grant an additional 15 days after the postponed deadline, if necessary.
