" It's " with the apostrophe is a contraction that should be used only in place of "It is" Ex. It's snowing outside. "Its" with no apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to it" Ex. The car lost its right wheel in the collision.

An apostrophe is used in "it's" when it is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." If you are showing possession, such as "The dog chewed on its bone," you do not need an apostrophe.

If the word represents "it is" you need the apostrophe because it's a contraction. (As I just used it.) If "its" represents a possessive (like "his" or "hers") then there is no apostrophe.

After the word, never. But "its" means "belonging to it," while "it's" means "it is."
