In the heart of Harris County, the intricate workings of business property assessments are encapsulated in a vital document known as the Houston 22 15 form. Dated January 1, 2013, this form serves a crucial role in the annual financial orchestration of businesses within this bustling region. Originating from the Business & Industrial Property Division of the Harris County Appraisal District, it seeks comprehensive details spanning from property owner information to a granular description of business assets. Mandatory fields require the owner's name, address, and the physical location of the property, which lay the groundwork for the appraisal process. Furthermore, this form delves into nuanced business information, optional yet significant in defining the scope and scale of operations, including business type, sales tax permits, and key dates marking changes in business status like sales or relocations. A unique aspect is its incorporation of an affirmation for unchanged assets from the prior year, simplifying the process for consistent entities. Descriptions and market value estimations of assets require meticulous attention, as these directly influence tax implications. The stipulation of penalties for misinformation underscores the form's legal importance, pressing for accuracy and honesty. By navigating through this document, businesses in Houston engage with a pivotal annual fiscal exercise, culminating in the accurate appraisal of their personal property, thereby determining their contribution to the county's tax revenues. Thus, the Houston 22 15 form stands as a cornerstone in the local economic structure, balancing legal compliance with financial accountability.
