What is Personal Property Listing Form – Henderson County, NC?
The Personal Property Listing Form, printed on the page as the Henderson County Individual Personal Property Listing, is the annual form on which an individual confirms the personal property listed in their name in Henderson County, North Carolina and reports any other taxable personal property owned on January 1 of the tax year.
The header names the Henderson County Assessor and gives the office address, phone number, email and web page. The form for tax year 2026 has five lettered sections:
- A, Ownership Information: name and mailing address, with a space for the new owner of a manufactured home you sold.
- B, Physical Address (Location) of Personal Property.
- C, Listed Personal Property: property already listed in your name, for which you will be billed for the tax year shown.
- D, Unlisted Personal Property: property you owned on January 1 that is not in Section C.
- E, Affirmation: the signed statement that the listing is true and complete.
All ownership information is as of January 1 of the tax year. The listing may be subject to audit review for compliance and accuracy. This form is for individuals; the county's documents page lists a separate Business Personal Property Listing Form for businesses.
Who needs to file Personal Property Listing Form – Henderson County, NC?
Individuals who owned personal property in Henderson County on January 1 of the tax year return this listing. If property is already printed in Section C, you review it; if you owned other property on January 1 that is not listed, you add it in Section D.
Section D asks you to list all boats, boat motors, manufactured homes, aircraft and unlicensed vehicles you owned on January 1. Unlicensed vehicles include cars, trucks, trailers of all types, motorcycles, campers and motor homes.
Exclusions and special cases from the instructions:
- Do not list vehicles currently licensed (tagged) by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). Permanently tagged and apportioned motor vehicles are the exception and must be listed, because they are not on NCDMV registration renewal notices.

- Businesses use the county's separate Business Personal Property Listing Form.
The signature must be that of the owner, a partner, a principal officer or an individual having power of attorney.

- Returning the form unsigned; the Section E affirmation must be signed by the owner, a partner, a principal officer or an individual with power of attorney.
- Listing vehicles currently tagged by the NCDMV in Section D; only unlicensed vehicles are listed, except permanently tagged and apportioned vehicles.
- Crossing out property in Section C without giving the date sold or disposed, or without attaching proof such as a Notarized Bill of Sale or repossession documents.
- Using one form for property at different locations; a separate listing form is needed for each location.
- Leaving out boats, boat motors, manufactured homes, aircraft or unlicensed vehicles owned on January 1 that are not shown in Section C.
- Giving thin descriptions in Section D, such as no make, model, year, VIN or hull ID, when the county needs enough detail to value the property accurately.
- Not entering the new owner, sale date and sale price for a manufactured home sold during the previous calendar year, when that information is available.
