TAX YEAR 2002

MERCHANTS, MANUFACTURING, CONSTRUCTION, FARM EQUIPMENT, PROFESSIONAL

FIRM NAME/ADDRESS:

Dear Property Owner:

The Form ATD-25 for reporting merchants, manufacturing, construction, farm equipment and professional equipment for tax assessment purposes is enclosed. This is the only form that will be accepted. Information that was provided to us for the 2000 tax year is reflected. If the form we are sending has an estimate, or you are a new business, we require that you send us a current listing. Please make any additions or deletions and return to this office BEFORE MARCH 1, 2001.

A depreciation percentage will be used on furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment. Therefore, you must show "Installed cost in Place" -- NOT a depreciated figure -- as well as whether bought new or used and date acquired. Please include leasehold improvements. Exclude licensed vehicles.

If you wish your property to be assessed under another company name, partnership or persons other than as addressed in this letter, please indicate. In regard to companies owning equipment at more than one location, you must complete a separate form for each location.

Insure that property categorized as Mobile Machinery by Wyoming Statutes 31-2-601 through 31-2-606 includes VIN or Serial Numbers. After reporting Mobile Machinery to the Assessor's Office you must then contact the Converse County Treasurer's Office to obtain registration stickers.

We must insist on a full, true and correct return as reflected in your official books and records. IF AN UPDATED LISTING IS NOT PROVIDED, we will assume that you are still in business and value your property based on the best available information. IF THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE, PLEASE INDICATE, SIGN AND RETURN.

If you have any questions in this matter, please call this office at (307) 358-2741 or Fax (307) 358-4065. Your prompt cooperation is appreciated.
