Business Property Desk is independent self-help software for supported local business personal property packet preparation. It is not an appraisal firm, assessor, law firm, CPA practice, tax appeal service, or government agency. You review the packet and file through the official channel.

Record-ready intake

Designed to be fast when your records are ready and the case stays in scope.

Official-source first

Every deadline claim is tied to a government source.

Packet + passport

The output is reusable next year, not trapped in an account.

Why this price

The same recurring admin pain, fewer layers.

The product does not sell advice. It sells a clean self-preparation workflow: collect facts, calculate the narrow packet, keep a passport, and point you to the official filing path.

Does this support every county?

No. The MVP is Texas first, Fairfax second, and Multnomah only for conditional renewal-style cases with user-supplied RMV. Local rules must be added before any other jurisdiction is supported.

Does the tool file the return for me?

No. Business Property Desk prepares an asset-register packet, checklist, and passport. You remain responsible for reviewing, signing, filing, and paying through the official local channel.

Does the tool decide market value or legal treatment for me?

No. Texas and Multnomah keep user-entered values visible for review; Multnomah requires user-supplied or user-confirmed owner RMV. Fairfax estimates are limited to supported Furniture & Fixtures and Computer Equipment categories. The tool does not give tax, legal, situs, exemption, or appeal advice.

Why does the wizard ask about January 1?

The supported filing lanes use January 1 as the key assessment or situs date. If the property was not in the supported jurisdiction on that date, the packet may not fit.

Can I use this for business vehicles only?

No. Vehicles often have separate local reporting rules and due dates. Multnomah also distinguishes licensed vehicles from fixed load or mobile equipment. Vehicle-only cases are a hard stop.

Why is Multnomah conditional?

The CPPR includes detailed schedules and owner real market value fields. The MVP is limited to renewal-style cases with one existing account, one location, ordinary owned assets, and user-supplied or user-confirmed RMV.
