Georgia Statutes
Georgia statutes and regulations require that all aircraft, boats, and tangible business personal property (furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, etc.) be reported annually. Business personal property used or located in Glynn County should be reported on a “Personal Property Tax Return Form” (PT-50).
Statutes require that a value be determined even if the owner fails to file a return of value. Failure to file timely subjects the owner to possible penalties, loss of depreciation, and exemptions, if applicable.
Freeport Exemptions
Freeport Exemptions for manufactured goods and items destined for shipment to a final destination outside the State of Georgia may be available. This exemption requires an annual timely application to receive full or partial benefits. Freeport is separated into three categories:
- Raw Materials and Goods in Process
- Finished Goods
