Under Article XIII, Section I of the California Constitution, all property is taxable unless it is exempt. Each year Personal Property is reassessed as of lien date, January 1st. Personal Property is all property except real estate and can include business equipment, vessels, aircraft, vehicles and manufactured homes.
Personal property depends on a surprisingly simple test: Can you physically move it? The outcome of that test determines the distinction between real property and personal property, which in turn has real implications for taxation.
A personal property tax is imposed by state or local governments on certain assets that can be touched and moved such as cars, livestock, or equipment. Personal property includes assets other than land or permanent structures such as buildings. These are considered to be real property.
