A list of all lands in the county in numerical order beginning with the lowest numbered section, in the lowest numbered township in the lowest numbered range in the county, and ending in the highest numbered section, township and range, with the number of acres in each tract, and the numbers of the school districts in which such lands are located, and the name and address of the owner in each instance excepting unplatted lands located inside a city or town; 2. A list of town lots in each town or city in like numerical order and the unplatted lands located inside each city and town, in numerical order beginning with the lowest numbered section in the lowest numbered township and range with the number of acres in each tract, and the number of the school district in which such lots or tracts are located, and the name and address of the owner in each instance; 3. A list in alphabetical order of all persons and bodies corporate in whose names any personal property has been assessed, the address of each such taxpayer, the number of the school district in which such property is taxable, with a sufficient number of columns opposite each name to enter the value, and where practicable the number of the several classes of property assessed to each property owner; 4. The value fixed by the county assessor of all property; and additional columns to show the equalized value as fixed by the State Board of Equalization. In listing real estate the value of land and improvements shall be shown separately in each instance; provided, in those counties in this state which have approved an exemption of household goods of the heads of families and livestock employed in support of the family from ad valorem taxation pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of Section 6 of Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution, the county assessor may, in preparation of the assessment roll, combine the value of land and improvements thereon; and 5. Such other information as may be required by the Tax Commission. Each property in which there is a homestead interest shall be entered on a separate line, and the assessment roll shall show the total assessed valuation of each homestead, the amount of exemption allowed, and the assessed valuation less the exemption. B. The assessment roll shall be available electronically to the county board of equalization while the board is in session, in order that the board may correct and adjust the taxable value of the property of the county. If there should be any lawful adjustments necessary, the board shall inform the county assessor in writing on a form prescribed by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. C. Prior to November 1 each year, the county assessor shall submit on a form prepared by the Tax Commission a report to the Tax Commission which states the net assessed valuation and millage levy of each political subdivision or taxing authority of the state that is authorized to levy a property tax regardless of whether such property tax is actually levied.
