The regular listing period in Perquimans County is from January 1 to January 31st. Extensions for listing personal property may be granted by the Tax Department up to April 15, upon a timely filed request. The request for extension to list must be made in writing and before the end of the regular listing period.

The owner of taxable personal property must list his/her personal with the Tax Department annually during the regular listing period, plus any extensions granted. General listing forms can be obtained by calling the Tax Department. Listing business personal property forms and instructions can be downloaded.
