Additional Information

The Generate New Tax Year program updates the process status of the Tax Year Setting to a 1 and copies the current parcel records into a fresh tax database for that year. When records are already in the tax database, it cannot copy current to tax like it usually would. Please verify that the amount of tax parcels for the appropriate year is correct.Â
