Tax Rolls
Tax rolls document the assessment of real estate and personal property and the collection of taxes.
Tax rolls are not indexed. They are arranged by legal description (parcel number, section number, lot/block number, etc.) within each township. You must know legal description of the property to be effective in your research.
Even though taxes were collected each year, not every tax roll survived and made it to an archives. after 1900, only those years ending 0 and 5 were saved.
Our holdings vary greatly by county and city/town/village.
