A Van Zandt business owes the appraisal district a list of its stuff by April 15

A Van Zandt County business can owe property tax on more than land. Inventory, furniture, fixtures, machines, and equipment can all count as business personal property.

The yearly report is called a rendition. It lists what the business owned on January 1 and goes to Van Zandt CAD. The statewide deadline is generally April 15, though some regulated property has different dates.

Put the rendition on the same calendar as sales-tax work. The forms are on the VZCAD and Comptroller sites, and an extension has to be requested before the deadline.
