the effectiveness of a UCC Financing Statement involves more than filing documents with our office,

we suggest you consult an attorney, accountant or other professional. State Department of

Assessments & Taxation staff cannot offer business counseling or legal advice.

Regarding annual documents to be filed with the Department of Assessments & Taxation: All domestic

and foreign legal entities must submit a Personal Property Return to the Department. Failure to file a
