Boone County assessment starts with both real and personal property

The Boone County assessor maintains the taxable-property list and assesses both real estate and tangible personal property, which feeds the tax base.

Property-tax paperwork in Boone County starts with the roll, not the bill. Assessment records cover taxable real estate and tangible personal property. Those values feed the tax base for the county and local political subdivisions.

Real estate is only half the errand. Vehicles and other tangible personal property can show up in the same assessment system, and Boone’s personal-property rules use what a person owns or holds on January 1. A car bought later in the year may belong to a different tax year than a house question on the same kitchen table.

Use assessment records when the issue is ownership, classification, value, an address tied to the roll, or a personal-property declaration. Paid receipts and payment status are Collector work.
