The word "it's" is a contraction for "it is".

The possessive form of the word "it" is "its", with no
apostrophe.

It may help to remember that the same rule applies to all
personal pronouns:  an apostrophe always indicates a
contraction with "am", "is" or "are" -

  I am, we are                   - I'm, we're
  you are                        - you're
  he is, she is, it is, they are - he's, she's, it's, they're

and there is never an apostrophe in the possessive form of a
personal pronoun - 

  my, our
  your
  his, hers, its, their
