How do I remove a taxing district?

Remove a Taxing District when it is no longer active, no longer levies taxes, or was created in error. Keeping taxing district records up to date helps ensure properties are assigned only to valid districts, supports accurate tax calculations, and prevents outdated districts from affecting billing, reporting, or revenue distribution. Before removing a taxing district, verify that it is no longer associated with active properties, taxing entities, or tax processes.

Examples:

  • Remove a taxing district that was created incorrectly or duplicated.
  • Delete a district that has been dissolved, merged, or replaced by another district.
  • Remove a special service district that no longer provides services or levies taxes.
  • Update district records after jurisdictional boundary changes eliminate a district.
  • Clean up inactive taxing districts to simplify administration and improve reporting accuracy.

 

Note: You cannot remove a taxing district when related transactions exist. A related transaction is a transaction that is linked to another transaction to show how they are connected.

 

Deleting a taxing district

1. Open Connect Property Tax Collection > Organization > Taxing District.

2. Enter the taxing district number or description in the Lookup bar. Press Enter.

3. Click Delete (CTRL+D).

The taxing district is deleted.
