How do I change the legal description?

Changing the legal description for a property updates the official description used to identify the property in records and reporting. This helps ensure that property information is accurate and matches legal, tax, or jurisdictional documentation.

You might change the legal description to correct errors, reflect updated property records, support ownership or boundary changes, or maintain accurate information for reporting and compliance purposes. Keeping the legal description current also helps ensure consistency across property and business tax records


If the property is linked to a master property, you'll need to edit the master property record in System Management.

 

1. Open Connect Business Tax Collection > Properties > Modify Existing Properties.

2. Click to select the field titled Property, and then enter the business name or number. Press Enter.

3. Click to select the Legal Description tab.

Connect displays legal description for the selected property.
