Tangible Account Extension Requests

How do I request an extension for the filing of Form DR-405 with the Sarasota County Property Appraiser?

All Tangible Personal Property (TPP) Tax Returns (form DR-405) are due by April 1 of each filing year. If you are not able to meet the filing due date, you may request a 30-day extension before the due date. All requests for extensions on both new and existing accounts must be received by our office by March 31st to be considered. Filing an extension does not guarantee approval; however, you will be notified by our Tangible Department if your request is granted.

NEW BUSINESS FILERS—without an official TPP account number issued by our office must use email to file an extension request.

Email requests can be sent to TPP@sc-pa.com together with the following items:

  • The complete name of the taxable entity, or Doing Business As (DBA) name, if different from the name of the taxable entity
  • The physical address of the business address (Situs Address)
  • Federal Tax Employer Identification Number (EIN)
  • Requests made by a CPA or tax representative must include a Letter of Authorization signed by the business owner.

EXISTING BUSINESS FILERS—with an official TPP account number may use our convenient online service to file an extension request.

E-requests can be made using our online extension service below for existing tangible accounts with the following items:

  • The Tangible Account Number of the taxable entity as listed on the Sarasota County Property Appraiser's Roll
  • The complete business name of the taxable entity, or Doing Business As (DBA) name, if different
  • The physical address of the business address (Situs Address)
