Understanding BPP

What is Business Personal Property Tax?

Business Personal Property (BPP) includes all tangible assets used in the operation of a business — from computers and furniture to heavy machinery and inventory. In Texas, these assets are subject to property taxation just like real estate.

Many businesses overpay on BPP taxes because their assets are over-valued, improperly classified, or not properly depreciated. Our team ensures your rendition is accurate and your valuations are fair.
