Business Property Desk supported jurisdictions and hard stops
Which jurisdictions Business Property Desk supports, what is not supported yet, and where the official or professional workflow should take over.
Summary
Business Property Desk supports only three narrow lanes: Texas general rendition packets, Fairfax County Furniture & Fixtures / Computer Equipment packets, and conditional Multnomah County CPPR renewal-style packets with an existing account and user-supplied owner RMV. Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, and other jurisdictions are not supported yet. Unsupported jurisdiction, appeal, exemption, multi-location, vehicle-only, or leased-property facts must stop before checkout.
Supported means Texas, Fairfax County, or narrow Multnomah only; every other jurisdiction is a hard stop for now.

Supported jurisdictions
The supported lanes are Texas general rendition packets for one county appraisal district and one taxable situs, Fairfax County packets for the supported non-vehicle categories, and Multnomah County CPPR renewal-style cases with an existing account and user-supplied or user-confirmed owner RMV.
Not supported yet
Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, and any other state, county, city, parish, or appraisal district are not supported yet. Do not treat an unsupported jurisdiction as a generic asset-register case. Local property tax forms, deadlines, categories, exemptions, situs rules, and filing channels must be added from official sources first.
Hard stops before checkout
Stop before payment for unsupported jurisdictions, appeals, disputes, exemptions, corrected assessments, multi-location or multi-jurisdiction filings, vehicle-only cases, leased, rented or consigned property, leasing-company facts, unclear situs, business sale or closure, or special property classes such as industrial, utility, railroad, pipeline, oil and gas, aircraft, watercraft, floating property, professional libraries, merchants' capital, or idle Machinery & Tools.
What this tool prepares
Business Property Desk builds an asset-register packet, jurisdiction checklist, user-review warnings, and annual passport from records the user enters. It does not file, sign, certify, calculate an official tax bill, request an extension, request an exemption, or act as an assessor, appraiser, CPA, attorney, tax consultant, or government agency.
When to use official or professional help
Use the official local filing authority or a qualified local professional for unsupported jurisdictions, account history, local portal access, appeals, exemptions, value disputes, special property, multiple locations, notices, audits, correction requests, or any question that asks what value, situs, exemption, or legal position the business should take.
Common questions
Which jurisdictions does Business Property Desk support?
Texas general rendition packets, Fairfax County limited Furniture & Fixtures / Computer Equipment packets, and narrow Multnomah County CPPR renewal-style packets with an existing account and user-supplied RMV.
Is Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, or another state supported yet?
No. Those jurisdictions are not supported yet. The product should hard-stop instead of accepting payment until official forms, deadlines, local categories, source rules, and tests are added.
What happens for unsupported jurisdictions?
Stop before checkout. Use the official local assessor, county, state, or a qualified local professional. Support can explain the boundary, but it should not advise on value, exemptions, appeal strategy, situs, or legal tax treatment.
Are appeals, exemptions, multi-location, vehicle-only, or leased property supported?
No. Appeals, disputes, exemptions, multi-location filings, vehicle-only filings, leased or consigned property, leasing companies, and unclear situs facts are hard stops.
Does Business Property Desk file the return?
No. It prepares a packet, checklist, and passport. The user reviews, signs, files, and pays through the official local channel.
Does it provide an appraisal?
No. It is not an appraisal, valuation opinion, assessor determination, tax appeal, or professional advice service.
