The deadline for assessing personal property without a penalty is May 31, according to Jefferson County Assessor Yvonne Humphrey.
Assessments may be done at the Jefferson County Courthouse, state Revenue offices at Jefferson Square or White Hall, online: www.assessjeffersoncounty.com, by phone 870-541-5334 or fax 870-541-5335.
To avoid a 10 percent late penalty, all vehicle owners are urged to assess by May 31. When adding vehicles, please have the vehicle identification number available.
For business owners, business assessments cannot be completed by phone. Business forms must be returned by mail and must be post marked by May 31. Business owners may assess by mail at P.O. Box 6087, online with their personal identification number, in person at the courthouse only or by fax at 870-541-5335.
May 31 is the last day to assess without a penalty regardless of the date to renew vehicle tags. Details: 541-5334.
