Listing business property in Rowan County
Rowan County runs the annual business personal property listing from Salisbury. Its form carries the 15 January sub-deadline for property leased or owned by others but in your possession on 1 January, and is rejected if unsigned by an authorised person.
Salisbury runs its own front door for new businesses. A business opening in the city files a Certificate of Registration with Development Services — the city's One Stop office on North Main Street. The city also has five local historic districts, and property inside them needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work, which catches owners fitting out a downtown storefront.
North Carolina requires an annual business personal property listing with the county, generally during January. Counties set their own dates and extension rules each season, so confirm the current year with your county before you file.
How the monthly work runs
Every plan is the same monthly service. We connect to your bank and card accounts, categorize what moved, reconcile the accounts, and send a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet for the month and the year to date. What changes between plans is volume — how many accounts you run and how much passes through them — not what gets done.
Salisbury is about 38 miles north of our office in Locust. Most of this runs online through the client portal, and you are welcome at the office whenever you would rather sit down with it.
