50 IAC 4.2-2-2 Who must file

Sec. 2. Every person (as defined in IC 6-1.1-1-10) owning, holding, possessing, or controlling personal property with a tax situs within the state on January 1 of any year is required to file a personal property tax return on or before May 15 of that year unless an extension of time to file a return is obtained under section 3 of this rule. The obligation to file a return is not diminished or affected by the failure of an assessor to deliver or mail forms to a taxpayer. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to obtain forms from the assessor and file a timely return in compliance with this article.
