Important Notice
Cleburne, TX (February 26, 2026)– House Bill 9 (HB 9) significantly changes how business personal property (BPP) is exempted and when a business must file a rendition. These changes take effect January 1, 2026.
Under HB 9, a business can now exempt up to $125,000 of the value of its income-producing personal property. This new exemption replaces the old “Less than $2,500” rule.
Businesses with a total market value of tangible Business Personal Property of $125,000 or less must still file a rendition in 2026. When filing, business owners must complete the rendition form and check the certification box indicating that the total market value of their tangible personal property is $125,000 or less in order to receive the exemption. Filing the 2026 rendition and making this certification is required to establish eligibility under the new exemption law. Future filing requirements may differ if the value remains under the exemption threshold; however, the 2026 rendition is required.
New Rendition Form Requirements:
Cleburne, TX (February 26, 2026) – The Central Appraisal District of Johnson County (JCAD) reminds business owners that annual Business Personal Property (BPP) renditions are due by April 15, 2026. BPP Renditions can be emailed to bpp@johnsoncad.net
