Important Information
GENERAL INFORMATION: This form is for use in claiming an allocation of value that
fairly represents the use in Texas of taxable tangible personal property that is used
continually outside Texas, whether regularly or irregularly, and has taxable situs in
Texas pursuant to Tax Code Chapter 21.
This form is for allocating value to Texas of:
tangible personal property generally (including motor vehicles, mobile
equipment, shipping containers, non-railroad rolling stock, etc.) pursuant to
Tax Code Section 21.03;
commercial aircraft under Tax Code Section 21.05; and
business aircraft under Tax Code Section 21.055.
Form 50-146, not this form, should be used in claiming an allocation of value
for vessels and other watercraft pursuant to Tax Code Section 21.031.
FILING INSTRUCTIONS: This document and all supporting documentation must
be filed with the appraisal district office in the county in which the property is tax-
able. Do not file this document with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
Contact information for appraisal district offices may be found on the Comptrollers
website.
RENDITION OF VALUE: The filing of a rendition of value under Tax Code Chapter 22
is not a condition of qualification for allocation of the value of property used in inter-
state commerce, vessels or other watercraft, commercial aircraft or business aircraft
under Tax Code Section 21.09(e). Tangible personal property used for the production
of income must be rendered, according to the provisions of Tax Code Section 22.01, on
a separate form (50-145). Failure to file a rendition timely or at all will subject the prop-
erty owner to monetary penalties provided by Tax Code Sections 22.28 and 22.29;
however, failure to file a rendition will not disqualify the property from allocation of
value if the property otherwise qualifies and the filing deadlines are met.
APPLICATION DEADLINES: A person claiming an allocation must apply for the
allocation each year the person claims the allocation. A person claiming an allocation
must file a completed allocation application by April 30 and provide the information
required by this form. If the property was not on the appraisal roll in the preceding
year, the deadline for filing the allocation application form is extended to the 30th day
after the date of receipt of the notice of appraised value required by Tax Code Section
25.19(a)(3). For good cause shown, the chief appraiser shall extend the deadline for fil-
ing an allocation application form by written order for a period not to exceed 30 days.
[Tax Code Section 21.09(b)]
LATE APPLICATION, PENALTY AND NOTICE: the chief appraiser shall accept and
approve or deny an application for an allocation of value after the deadline for filing
if the application is filed before the date the appraisal review board approves the
appraisal records. If the application is approved, the property owner is liable to each
taxing unit for a penalty in an amount equal to 10 percent of the difference between
the amount of tax imposed by the taxing unit on the property without the alloca-
tion and the amount of tax imposed on the property with the allocation. The chief
appraiser shall deliver a written notice of imposition of the penalty with an explana-
tion to the property owner. The amount of the penalty shall be added to the tax bill
and the penalty collected at the time and in the manner the collector collects the tax.
The penalty amount constitutes a lien against the property and accrues penalty and
interest in the same manner as a delinquent tax. [Tax Code Section 21.10]
