What is Personal Property Change Form – Pinellas County, FL?
The Personal Property Change Form, headed Notification of Business Information Change, is the Pinellas County Property Appraiser form on which a business owner reports that a business was sold, relocated or terminated, identified by its TPP account number.
The form opens with the account details: TPP account number, contact phone, owner name, site address and mailing address. It then offers three changes to report, each with its own entries:
- Business Sold: the date of sale, the buyer's name and address, the sale price, and whether the sale price included business assets. A copy of the Bill of Sale is attached.
- Business Relocated: the date of relocation and the new address.
- Business Terminated: the date the business closed and what became of the assets: abandoned on site, destroyed or disposed of, personally retained, donated to a named recipient, or in storage at a stated location.
A comments box and a certification close the form: the signer certifies that the information is true and accurate, signs, dates, and prints a name and title. The form is printed, signed and mailed to the Pinellas County Property Appraiser, Attn: TPP Dept. It is a notification of change, not an application, and the form prints no separate form number or revision date.
Who needs to file Personal Property Change Form – Pinellas County, FL?
The form is built for the owner of a business that has a TPP account with the Pinellas County Property Appraiser and whose circumstances have changed. It applies in three situations, each marked by a checkbox on the form:
- The business was sold. Complete the sale details and attach a copy of the Bill of Sale.
- The business moved. Give the date of relocation and the new address.
- The business closed. Give the date closed and say what happened to the assets.
The form asks for the TPP account number and the owner name, so have both before you start. The person who signs prints a name and title beneath the signature and certifies that the information is true and accurate. The form does not describe who else may sign for an owner, and it names no exclusions. For questions about whether your situation calls for this form, the Property Appraiser lists (727) 464-3207 and [email protected] on the form.
When to file Personal Property Change Form – Pinellas County, FL
Use the form when one of three events occurs: the business is sold, the business relocates or the business is terminated. No separate due date is printed on it. The dates of the event itself are entries on the form: the date of sale, the date of relocation or the date closed.
If you checked Business Sold, the Bill of Sale copy goes in the same envelope as the form, so have it ready when you mail. For any question about timing, call the Property Appraiser at (727) 464-3207 or email [email protected], the contacts printed on the form.
Documents you need
- A copy of the Bill of Sale, attached to the form when you check Business Sold.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Checking Business Sold without attaching a copy of the Bill of Sale, which the form asks for.
- Mailing the form unsigned or without a date; the certification that the information is true and accurate needs a signature and date.
- Leaving out the printed name and title beneath the signature.
- Sending the signed form by email; the form says to print, sign and mail it, and the email address is for information.
- Mailing the form to a street address instead of PO Box 1957, Clearwater, FL 33757-1957, Attn: TPP Dept.
- Omitting the TPP account number or owner name, which identify the account being changed.
- Checking Business Terminated without saying what happened to the assets, or checking Donated Assets to or Assets in Storage at without naming the recipient or location.
- Skipping the Yes or No answer on whether the sale price included business assets when reporting a sale.
