Record Managing EditorElectronic filing is now available for personal property assessment statements.The online option will be accessible beginning Jan. 2, Warren County Assessor Wendy Nordwald said. The move is designed to reduce costs for the assessor’s office and taxpayers and make it more convenient to submit the information annually.Taxpayers, however, will still have the option to fill out and return the paper statement to the assessor’s office.The personal property assessments were mailed this week, Nordwald said. The deadline to submit the information is March 1 to avoid a penalty. Nordwald believes more taxpayers will take advantage of the e-filing system once they become aware of it.“My hope is more people do it,” she said. “I hope they utilize it. They will save on stamps, don’t have to worry about a trip here and have a printed receipt. That is a huge plus for everyone.”The assessor’s office served as pilot county for the new electronic system between March 1 and May 1 and is one of eight counties in Missouri launching the option this year.“We did not encounter any problems last year,” Nordwald said. “It made the job easier here and easier for the taxpayers.”Owners of personal property can access the e-filing system at warren.missouriassessors.com or find a link on the assessor’s website at www.warrencoassessor.com. It will be accessible until May 1, Nordwald said.Taxpayers can log into the new system using their account number and pin number that will be mailed with the personal property statement this week. Once a person is logged in, they can add, change or remove any personal property items. An electronic signature will be required before the information can be submitted to the assessor’s office.Nordwald noted that a taxpayer can print out a receipt confirming that the personal property information was sent.In the event the information is incorrect, Nordwald said it can be corrected by mailing the paper notice or in person at the assessor’s office.Electronic filing available for personal property statements
