Tax Area Table

A Tax Area is a collection of Tax Districts for an area in the county.
They ARE NOT just School Districts, they are much more than that.
A Tax Area may have multiple Tax Districts, County, School District, City, Vo-tech and EMT.

To build a Tax Area user must

• CREATE all Tax Districts in that Tax Area
• CREATE all TIF Districts in that Tax Area
• Finally, CREATE the Tax Area

Tax Area Info:

• Tax Area ID: This is a System assigned number.

• Description: This is the County’s description of the Tax Area.
• Adv Reference: This is the Ad Valorem Reference Number furnished by the OTC. Each unique Tax Area should have its own number. Tax Areas may be duplicated that use the same Ad Valorem Reference Number, however, it is not advised. IF the Tax Area is duplicated, it MUST share the same the same number. Totals should show on the Millage Report.

• Cross Reference: This is the School District number that the Tax Area is cross referenced to.
