A taxpayer should only pay Personal Property taxes on a vehicle/trailer/boat to one county for any given year. Getting a Personal Property tax statement from 2 counties for the same is the result of the taxpayer reporting (turning in on the Assessment Form) to 2 counties. DO NOT PAY both bills. The taxpayer should pay the taxes to the county of residence on January 1. The other should be contacted and informed of the error. In most cases, upon showing proof of payment to another county, the erroneous bill will be removed.
