What is 2026 Individual Personal Property Listing – Durham County, NC?
The 2026 Individual Personal Property Listing is the Durham County Tax Administration form, printed as the 2026 Real and Personal Property Listing Form, that an owner uses to list the personal property owned on January 1, 2026 and to report changes to real property made during 2025.
The form has four parts:
- A. Owner name, mailing address and physical location of the personal property, with a place to mark changes.
- B. Personal property: a preprinted list to correct, and space to add property that is not printed.
- C. Real property: the type of work and percent of completion as of January 1, 2026 for changes made during 2025.
- D. Affirmation: the signature of a legally authorized person, with the capacity in which that person signs.
The form states that it must be signed and returned. The affirmation is made under penalties prescribed by law, and the form notes that willfully subscribing a listing the signer does not believe to be true is a Class 2 misdemeanor under Subchapter II of Chapter 105 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
The agency's forms page files this PDF under Property Tax Appeal Forms and lists a separate 2026 Business Personal Property Listing among its business forms. This page covers only the individual listing.
Who needs to file 2026 Individual Personal Property Listing – Durham County, NC?
Owners of personal property in Durham County who receive or need the listing form report what they owned on January 1, 2026.
