The Buchanan County assessor tracks both parcels and personal property

Buchanan County's Assessor works with both real property parcels and tangible personal property, so assessment questions are broader than land alone.

property taxpersonal property taxassessor vs collectorassessment

An assessment question in Buchanan County can be about land, vehicles, or both.

The Assessor works with more than 40,000 parcels on the real tax roll and more than 110,000 articles of personal property each year. That makes the office broader than a parcel map or house value alone.

For a resident, a vehicle, trailer, business equipment, or other taxable personal property can be part of the assessment system. For a buyer, the parcel record is only one part of the tax homework.

Use the Assessor for value, listing, classification, and record questions. Use the Collector after the assessed value has become a bill, payment, receipt, or delinquent balance.
