Does depreciation reduce the personal property tax?
Depreciation can reduce the assessed value of personal property and thereby reduce the personal property tax, if the tax rate stays the same. Most states have a minimum rate in their depreciation tables where the depreciated value of the personal property will remain as long as you still own the property. Ask your local personal property assessor about depreciation tables as they also vary by type of personal property.

How can a homeowner get recoverable depreciation money from a home owners claim?
You Can't. When we buy home owners insurance we basically have two options for the coverage type.1. RCV, Replacement Value2. ACV, or depreciated ValueIf you purchased an RCV ( replacement ) policy then the company will pay the amount needed to either repair or replace the property within the policy limits you purchased..If you purchased an ACV (depreciated Value) policy then they will pay the amount needed to repair the property or they will pay you the depreciated cash value of the property if not repairable whichever is less and within policy limits.
Do you have to take depreciation on a rental property?
No, you are not required to depreciate rental property. Sometimes, when a person knows they aren't going to keep the property but a year or two, it may not be to their advantage to depreciate the property as they will have to recapture the depreciation upon selling it. Depreciation is a deduction that you are allowed to take on your tax return in order to reduce your taxable income from this source, but it is not required.
Can improvements when owning a home be depreciated once it becomes a rental?
Yes. But this may not be a good thing. The conversion to a rental/investment sets the basis for depreciation og the entire property. The amount of gain realized on that conversion would be taxable (unless converted to another residence). You end up forgoing the benefits of owning a residence....probably the biggest benefit available to most people in the tax code. The depreciation is only a timing difference and is repcatured upon sale of the investment and taxed then in any case, at ordinary, not capital gain rates. (Depreciation reduces the basis in the property, so your gain on sale is higher. The rules do not allow you to take depreciation as an ordinary income expense and recapture it as a capital gain, lower rate). Conceptually, it is the same as selling you house and using the proceeds to buy an investment property.

What is the depreciated value of my personal property?
It depends on the property. Most insurance companies have a schedule of depreciation for a said property. For example an ice box has a life span of 10years (let's say), and it costs $1000.00 to replace and it is five years old at the time of loss. You are due $500.00, after the depreciation. All personal property has a life cycle, and it just depends on what the property is. As a side note you might want to check with your agent or policy services for your company about adding a 'replacement cost' endorsement to your policy, the endorsement generally isn't too much, and certainly pays for it's self many times over should you suffer a loss.
