Agricultural Use

Agricultural use is given to property owners whose large parcels would otherwise have prohibitively high taxes. Each state provides a schedule whereby those taxpayers can lower the land value on which their taxes are assessed.

Finalizing the Tax Roll

The tax roll is a report of all parcels within the county and their values. These values are used to determine the taxes due for each parcel. Finalizing the tax roll locks these values for the current tax year. There are separate Tax Rolls for real and personal property.  This Quick Help shows users how to finalize a tax roll for real or personal property.

Parcel Address Mass Update

Parcel Address Mass Update allows the user to update the mailing addresses of multiple parcels at the same time. This function is most often used when multiple parcels have the same owner and a mailing address update is needed. This Quick Help shows users how to use Capture’s Parcel Address Mass Update function.

Mass Rollover

Mass Rollover is the process of moving parcels from one tax year to the next. All parcels are rolled over at the same time via a scheduled job. Both real and personal property can use the Mass Rollover.  This Quick Help shows users how to create and schedule Mass Rollover jobs in Capture.

Supplement

A supplement is a replacement record for a parcel that has already been abstracted for the current year. Supplements are created to correct errors or update new parcel information.  Common assessment supplements will focus on name, class, exemption, and agricultural use changes.

Rollback

When Current Use comes off a parcel Capture allows users to assess taxes up to three prior years. Through the Rollback tab on the Parcel Information Dashboard users are able to assess the difference between what was paid when the parcel was on Current Use and what would have been due had the parcel been assessed at full value.
