Under Article XIII, Section I of the California Constitution, all property is taxable unless it is exempt. Each year Personal Property is reassessed as of lien date, January 1st.
Business Personal Property Tax is a tax assessed on tangible personal property businesses own. This type of property includes equipment, furniture, computers, machinery, and inventory, among other items not permanently attached to a building or land.
Business Personal Property includes all supplies, equipment and any fixtures used in the operation of a business. Exempt from reporting are business inventory, application software and licensed vehicles (except Special Equipment (SE) tagged and off-road vehicles).
As it stands, commercial properties in California are primarily taxed at a foundational rate of 1% of their assessed value, thanks to the provisions set forth by Proposition 13. This means if a commercial property has an assessed value of $1 million, the base property tax owed would be $10,000.
Who is responsible for the property taxes? By California law, whoever owns the property on January 1st of the current calendar year is responsible for taxes up until the close of escrow date. Once the close of escrow is completed, the new owner is responsible for that year's property taxes at a prorated amount.
