Lincoln, Neb. — The Nebraska Department of Revenue, Property Assessment Division, reminds owners of personal property that the Nebraska Personal Property Return Schedule must be filed on or before May 1 with the county assessor where the personal property is located. Since May 1, 2021 falls on a Saturday in 2021, the Nebraska Personal Property Return and Schedules must be filed on or before Monday, May 3, 2021. If you have property at more than one location, contact the county assessor to determine the tax district.

that is:
a) Owned or held on January 1, 12:01 a.m. of each year; or
