A tax roll is the official list of parcels, owners, and values for the tax year. The notice in the mailbox is a printout from one row on that list.
A tax roll is the official list of parcels, owners, and values a county uses for a given tax year. Every billed house is a row on that list. The notice in the mailbox is a printout from a row, not a separate appraisal of one kitchen. A change to the row gives later millage a new number to multiply.
What is on a property tax roll?
The IAAO glossary calls a tax roll an official list showing the taxes charged against each taxpayer or property, and notes it is sometimes combined with the assessment roll. Typical rows carry an identifier, an owner, a location, land and building figures, and exemption codes. The roll is the year's public inventory, not a bank file.
Example: parcel 12-34, owner on file, $200,000 assessed, $50,000 homestead, $150,000 taxable. That stub is an example of a row, not a real account.
Look up if you are overpaying.
Is a tax roll the same as my property tax bill?
No. The roll is the list. The bill is the later invoice built from one row after millage is applied. A property tax appeal is a request to change the value sitting in that row. The property tax glossary and the property record card page keep the list, the office file, and the invoice in separate piles. Fair Appeal presents evidence and manages the case through resolution when a filing goes forward, and FairAppeal only charges if the value actually moves.
