Otherspace Productions is a full-fledged business, registered with my county as a real animation production facility. My bedroom is a licensed animation studio. This tickles me.

Unfortunately, this has an unintended consequence: personal property taxes. Upon reviewing the personal property form I received a few days ago, I’ve realized that I have to report everything that I’ve used in connection with the business as taxable. That includes:

• The character design sheets I paid for. Okay, I expected that.
• My (primary) computer, Pendragon, because I used that to co-ordinate the animation. Ouch.

Fortunately, those are the only tangible pieces of property I have that are connected to the business. But still…ouch.
