TAX ASSESSMENT

TAX ASSESSMENT ROLLS
BUTTE COUNTY – OPHIR TOWNSHIP
1852 THROUGH 1909
CHINESE

This information was extracted from the original Butte County assessment rolls that were being stored at Special Collections, Meriam Library, California State University, Chico by the Association for Northern California Records and Research (ANCRR). ANCRR became the custodian of the original records begining in 1971. The County’s Assessors office could no longer house or preserve them (see the ANCRR white paper and history authored by Lois MacDonald). Those rolls, dating from 1852 to 1896, were microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in January and February of 1991. We recorded information preserved on the original ledger as well as microfilmed copies. All of the original rolls, including those created in the early twentieth century, were sent back to the Assessor’s office in 2002 by representatives of ANCRR. Where they are housed presently and under what conditions is not known.

As is so often the case some entries were difficult to decipher. A question mark (?) was placed where the information was unclear. Not all years were found among the originals or on microfilm. Missing from this list is 1899, 1901, and 1903-1907. They were not found in the microfilmed copies.

TAX ASSESSMENT ROLLS
BUTTE COUNTY – OPHIR TOWNSHIP
1852 THROUGH 1909
CHINESE

This information was extracted from the original Butte County assessment rolls that were being stored at Special Collections, Meriam Library, California State University, Chico by the Association for Northern California Records and Research (ANCRR). ANCRR became the custodian of the original records begining in 1971. The County’s Assessors office could no longer house or preserve them (see the ANCRR white paper and history authored by Lois MacDonald). Those rolls, dating from 1852 to 1896, were microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in January and February of 1991. We recorded information preserved on the original ledger as well as microfilmed copies. All of the original rolls, including those created in the early twentieth century, were sent back to the Assessor’s office in 2002 by representatives of ANCRR. Where they are housed presently and under what conditions is not known.

As is so often the case some entries were difficult to decipher. A question mark (?) was placed where the information was unclear. Not all years were found among the originals or on microfilm. Missing from this list is 1899, 1901, and 1903-1907. They were not found in the microfilmed copies.

1852

1857 – Tax assessments are listed for those shown to be in Oroville. The specific tax amounts were not always listed, just the total of the assets (called aggregate).

Some records do not identify the tax upon anything or even describe where the property was located. Improvements could mean buildings like homes, outbuildings, food stores, restaurants and other uses.
