The results of a TAD.org Property Search can be exported to your favorite spreadsheet program such as MS Excel, Apple Numbers, and many others. Just follow these easy steps: (1) accomplish your Property Search or Advanced Search, (2) above the search results first select either Page Results or All Results, (3) then select either Excel File or TXT/CSV File, and lastly, (4) select either the *Basic or **Comprehensive data option (see details below). The data file type you select will be exported to your PC’s, Mac’s, tablet’s, or smart phone’s download folder (the location of which varies by web browser and device type). Once your data is downloaded, open it in either MS Excel or import the TXT/CSV file (delimited by a comma) into another compatible spreadsheet program. To ensure fair access for all users to TAD.org resources, a limit to the number of records you may download at one time may be indicated at the time you select either a Basic or Comprehensive file. If your download exceeds the current limit, consider crafting your Property Search or Advanced Search so that it can be divided into multiple downloads. For example, target/filter one search for Residential property and another for Commercial property then combine the results.
*Basic - this option contains 29 columns of data per parcel of the current year ownership, location, value, and other general information.
**Comprehensive - this option contains 116 columns of data per parcel of the current year and 5 previous years of ownership, location, value, and other general information.

Persons who are over 65 years of age may file for an exemption in addition to the residential homestead exemption with TAD. If you qualify for the over 65 exemption you would be entitled to a tax ceiling on school and locally adopted city, county and special district assessments. Please note that this exemption would limit your taxes only – not your home’s value – as this could change with prevailing market conditions.
