Final roll date reminders

Many of you have reached another milestone in the assessment calendar. Within ten days of publishing your final roll, please ensure that you do the following:

  • Use the Upload Files tool in the Online Assessment Community to transmit your final roll and assessor’s report to ORPTS.
  • Post the roll online and provide a link from your municipality’s homepage. If your city or town doesn’t have a website, you must arrange to have it posted on the county’s website.

Do not submit your roll in PDF format. Upload a copy of your RPSv4 database or—if you do not use RPSv4—a 15-c file. Note: When using the Upload Files tool, we strongly encourage you to use Google Chrome.

RPSV4 users: Before you generate your final roll file, run your assessor’s report and ensure that you’ve selected the Final AR checkbox under Create Option. We’ve recently received several rolls where the database processing flags were not set to Final and were still in edit status. This could cause a delay in the reconciliation of the assessor’s report and the establishment of the equalization rate.

When you submit your final roll to ORPTS, please include a backup of the database file that was used to run the final assessor's report.

For more information on submitting your final roll and assessor’s report to ORPTS, see Roll submission information.

Deadline to request advisory appraisals

If you’re conducting a reassessment and you would like to request a utility advisory appraisal, the deadline to submit Form RP-7021, Utility Advisory Appraisal Request is 270 days prior to your tentative roll date (by August 1 for localities using the standard assessment calendar). Please also notify your county customer support team as soon as possible. We cannot deliver advisory appraisals without Form RP-7021 on file for the current year, and your county team must be aware of the reassessment.

STAR letter going out this week
