New York City`s official tax maps are administered by the Tax Map Office. Tax maps show property boundaries, block and lot numbers, street names, property dimensions, and easements. With the Online Digital Control Card (DTM), you can access: In New York State, the SBL number uniquely identifies a property in a municipality`s land map/database. Geez, what a beautiful description! Thank you for explaining clearly and simply what a tax card # is, for those of us who had no idea! I appreciate it. The “Long SBL” is located in the City of Buffalo`s real estate information database, is filled with zeros and has no separators. The “Short SBL” number is used in the Erie County database and many other places, has no zeros and is separated by a period and two hyphens in the aaa.bb-ccccc-ddd[-eee] model. Preservation-Ready Sites uses Short SBL. The “Y” stands for the number “block”. This is a part of the map that is usually divided into 2-3 sections, unless you are looking at a high-density map. For the “Blythewood SC” search example in the last paragraph, the “block” would represent the county. So if I were to look for the city of Blythewood, I would tell someone to go to their atlas and find the map of South Carolina and then Richland County.
South Carolina means “XXXXX” and Richland County means “YY.” These numbers are usually displayed with a number in a polygon somewhere on the map. Real estate parcels in South Carolina are divided into tax cards in each county. This is a design that the county records for property tax purposes. Each property is identified by a TMS# or tax card number. Whenever you call to pay online or pay taxes or search for property in the courthouse, they will usually ask for this number for reference. Although this number is indicated on the deed, it does NOT mean that the dimensions of your property are as indicated. So when buying land in South Carolina, don`t rely on this number for accuracy and always refer to the legal description for the most accurate description of your property boundaries. If you`re looking for your property online, you can try the GIS section of your county website. To stay with this example, the last digit “ZZ” is called the package number. This is the most accurate number on this tax slip and should identify your property.
These are the last digits of a tax card number and must be closely related to the recorded measurement of ownership. In the example of the atlas, this would represent the city of Blythewood. The parcel number is usually displayed on the tax slip within the boundaries of your property. Troubleshooting: If you find the number listed on your tax bill, but not what your property looks like, you`re probably in the wrong “block” or “card.” Control charts are usually divided into 3 digits like “XXXXX-YY-ZZ”. The “X” represents the number “hand” or “card”. This is the number that displays multiple properties on a map. As an example, think about how you would search for a city in an atlas. If I told you to look for Blythewood SC in an atlas, your first step would be to turn to the page that shows the state of South Carolina. The “XXXXX” in a control chart number performs a similar function. This number is usually displayed on the edge of the card or in the bottom corner.
