I am afraid that Ms. Long is, at least, partially mistaken. Personal property taxes, as used in previous posts, refers to the property taxes that are paid by profit-making enterprises that are located in or on tax-exempt properties. These are properties that would primarily be owned by non-profit organizations and the government--at all levels.
If we use the new park board headquarters as an example: If the MPB rented extra space to a profit making company, that company would have to pay personal property taxes. The for-profit company does not get the exempt status of the property owner. I would really like to know however, why this information is not available publicly as it is for are all other property taxes?
