Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a county board may appoint a real property lister (lister) to
prepare and maintain accurate ownership and description information for all parcels
of real property in the county. Under current law, a lister may also provide
information on parcels of real property in the county for the use of taxation district
assessors; city, village, and town clerks and treasurers; county offices; and any other
persons who require the information. Under this bill, a lister must collect, organize,
and distribute information on real property records maintained by the county for the
use of taxation district assessors; city, village, and town clerks and treasurers; county
offices; the Department of Revenue (DOR); and any other persons who request the
information.
Under current law, a lister may serve as a coordinator between the county and
the taxation districts in the county for property assessment and taxation purposes.
The bill provides, instead, that a lister must serve as a coordinator and facilitator
among DOR, the county, and the taxation districts in the county for property
assessment and taxation purposes.
This bill requires that a lister review recorded real property conveyance
documents to determine if the documents are valid, accurate, and complete for
assessment, taxation, and parcel mapping purposes. The bill also requires that a

lister create and maintain databases of real property ownership, assessment, and
taxation information and to provide for the electronic transfer and publication of
such databases to taxation district assessors; city, village, and town clerks and
treasurers; county offices; and DOR.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
