LA4 is correct but tax is too high on Actual Commitment Book

The LA4 values are correct, but the tax for a particular real estate classification (Residential, Open Space, Commercial, Industrial, etc.) is higher than it should be based on the total valuation times the tax rate divided by one-thousand.

There are many possible causes for this issue. A known cause is that the mixed use properties have a value with an exempt class code that does not start with a 0. For example, the value's class is 9000 instead of 0900.

All values on a mixed use parcel should start with a 0 to indicate that they are mixed use. Update the class code on the parcel's values to the appropriate class code that starts with a 0 (e.g. 0900 instead of 9000). 

The recommended way of updating the class code on the parcel's value is to correct the value's class code in the Assessing system. Then generate a new CAMA file from the Assessing system, and import the CAMA file to update the class codes on the parcel's values. 

If necessary, a value's class codes can be updated manually by following the procedure outlined here: Update the Class Codes of a value on a parcel

• Development is currently reviewing the functionality to omit 9 class codes from tax calculation in a similar fashion to 09 class codes.
