NOTICE
TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AND TAXPAYERS
OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY
Returns of Personal Property
The law requires each property owner to list on forms, available at the office of the Commissioner of Revenue, the fair market value of all personal property owned by him on January 1, 1952. This means that each property owner must set down on these forms both tangible (motor v hicles, livestock, farm machinery, household goods, * machinery and tools, .merchant’s capital etc.) and intangible (bonds, notes and other evidence of debt) personal property under the headings set forth on these forms, and give the fair market value of all of this property.
The1 Commissioner of Revenue will be glad to assist in the preparation of. theso returns at her office in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia and will sit in each magisterial district at least one day tq assist taxpayers, at a time to be later published. However, if the taxpayer wishes to prepare his own return, he should be sure to fill it out completely, sign and mail or bring it to the office of the Commissioner of Revenue on or bafore May 1st. Early filing of your return will be greatly appreciated.
Each taxpayer will be assessed on one-fourth (%) of the total fair market valua of the tangible personal property owned by him. This is approximately the same ratio that the 1951 land assessments bear to the lands sold in that year. The taxpayer is required to complete the tax return showing the full fair mark t value of the tangible personal property, as of January 1, 1952, and the Commissioner of Revenue will make the assess^ ment as outlined above.
