a single account may have multiple records to fully de-
scribe the parcel. The CD-ROM contains a separate da-
ta file for each Record_Type. The Record_Types are:
AAAA - primary Real Estate account data (one per ac-
count)
AAAC - additional data associated with primary account
ADMHIST 5 year value history per account
AGNT - if the account is represented by an agent author-
ized to represent the owner during INFORMAL
APPEALS, the agent code, name and address of the
agent (none or one per account)
CSK1 Commercial Sketch (part 1)
ECU - for commercial accounts, the TAD Economic Unit
identifier and related business information (none or one
per account)
ECUM - Master Economic Unit records. One per Economic
Unit
IMPR - for Residential Real Estate accounts, specific de-
tails related to improvements on the account (none to as
many as required to describe all improvements)
IMPC - for Commercial Real Estate accounts, specific de-
tails related to additional improvements on the account
(none to as many as required to describe all improve-
ments)
LOCA - All accounts. The property location address in a
fielded format suitable for geographic processing
PERS - a Personal Property account primary data record
(one per account)
MNRL- Mineral accounts (one per account)
SALE - for Real Estate accounts, sales that have occurred
on the account, if any
SIC - Standard Industrial Codes used by Tarrant Appraisal
al District in categorizing Business Personal Property ac-
counts - one per SIC
SKCH - for Residential Real Estate accounts, vector data
that may be used to draw a sketch of the improvements
on the property (none to as many as required to sketch
the improvements on an account)
SUBD - Subdivision Master Records - one per subdivision
or abstract
18 3 N
When an account has more than a single record of a giv-
en Record_Type, such as IMPR, this field will be incre-
mented for each subsequent record of the same type with-
in an account.

ALL records contain the above common data elements.

The following is the description of an AAAA record. It matches the layout of the file AAAA.TXT that is generat-
ed from AAAA.TAD (AAAA.zip, downloaded from the TAD website) by using the conversion program DISTCOPY.
There will be one and only one AAAA record for each Real Estate record on the file. The sequence number is
always 000. There are no AAAA records for a Personal Property account.

PIDN Formats

The documentation below has been changed to reflect TADs actual use of the base addition/abstract portion of the PIDN field.
Prior documentation has shown the addition/abstract portion of the PIDN to occupy positions 1-7 of the PIDN instead of posi-
tions 1-6 as illustrated here. This in no way constitutes a change in the content of the PIDN field TAD has always used only
positions 1-6 for addition/abstract. The change below only changes the documentation to correspond to how the PIDN field is
actually being used.

Real Estate Subdivisions (Addition code is numeric)
The PIDN for "Block and Lot" legal descriptions uses the full 20 characters available for the PIDN and is
formatted as follows:

If alpha suffix characters are used in the Lot and/or Block identifications, the Base and Suffix are divid-
ed at the first occurrence of an alpha character.

For example: Lot 12B1 would be coded
12 in the Base
B1 in the Suffix

Lot 1A1B would be coded
1 in the Base
A1B in the Suffix

Real Estate Abstracts (First position is the letter A)
The PIDN for an Abstract uses only 17 of the available 20 character positions

Real Estate Mobile Homes in Parks
The PIDN for a mobile home account in a MH park uses the full 20 characters available for PIDN and is formatted
as follows:

Mobile Homes in parks are identified by an X in the 6
th
position of PIDN and are always TAG 80 accounts.

Effective in 2000, mobile homes in parks are no longer carried in the Business Personal Property file. For mobile
homes in mobile home parks, the Mobile Home Park code is carried in the Base PIDN and the pad number is car-
ried in the block number field. Mobile home park codes are always identified by the letter X in position 6 of the
Base. All mobile homes in parks are always TAG 80 (improvement only) accounts.

TAGS

A TAG is the last two positions of the PIDN for a property. It is used to identify unusual or exceptional
conditions relating to a piece of property. Generally, multiple records with PIDNs that differ only by the
TAG represent different components of the same property. This can occur, for example, when a school
or city boundary crosses a property, or when a farmhouse is homesteaded on a farm, or other reasons
that cause us to identify multiple components of the same parcel of land. The TAG identifies the specif-
ic reason for the multiple records.

TAG Codes
01 Homesite
02 Rest of property, less the homesite (usually AG)
03 Improvements - Rental or Commercial
04 Miscellaneous - used to describe an unusual legal description
10 Split or portion of a lot (E PT LOT 8)
20 Combination of whole parcels (BLK 1 LOTS 2 & 3)
30 Combination of parts of parcels (BLK 5 E PT LT 5 and W PT LT 6)
40 Percentage interest - such as condominiums with common area
50 Divided Ownership Interest - each owner owns an interest in
the whole parcel of land (50% of the whole rather than the
"west 1/2" of the property, for example)
60 R.O.W - property within right-of-way
70 Duplicate property descriptions, but NOT duplicate records
PIDN 14350----1----2---70 per plat #388-108-75
PIDN 14350----1----2---71 per plat #388-159-85
involves two separate pieces of land, but because of the plats
as filed, both properties have the same legal description.
The TAG 70 series keeps the properties unique in TAD's system
80 Improvement only account - such as buildings on leased land
90 Boundary split - school, city, or county splits a parcel
A Legal not verified
B Legal not verified
C Legal not verified
E1 Exemption split - partial exemption
E2 Exemption split - less the partially exempt portion
A1 AG deferral split - vacant land with AG deferral
A2 AG deferral - less the AG deferral portion
L1-L9 Split for taxable lease on exempt property
P1-P9 Possessory interest accounts
R1/R2 Split due to residential and commercial on the same property
T1-T2 Split due to a TIF boundary

Real Estate Class Codes
Standard Distribution Data, 2013 i Appendix G
Beginning with the 2003 appraisal year, TAD has added a significant number of unique classes for
condominiums, townhomes, and hybrids (condo/townhome mix). Generally, the new classes are the
same basic class as the single-family class with a suffix to indicate (C)ondo, (T)ownhome, or (H)ybrid.
For example, a class 008 townhome will be designated as a class 008T. Exceptions abound. Class
007A properties have become 707C, 707T, and 707H. Class 024A, has become 724A for condomini-
ums, 824A for townhomes, and 924A for hybrids. That pattern has been repeated for classes 024B,
025A/B, and 026A/B.

In addition to the above residential classes, a series of shadow classes has been defined for residen-
tial property. These classes are in the range of 301 through 329 and correspond to classes 1 through
29, respectively. These classes are used to describe certain components that exist separately from a
living area component with which they would normally be valued. For example, the value of a detached
garage would normally be included in the value of the living area of a home and would not, by itself,
reflect a value. When that detached garage exists on a parcel by itself, with no living area associated
with it, it would be classed using one of the shadow classes. Two additional shadow classes are 300
(Miscellaneous Residential) and 351 (Miscellaneous Mobile Home) which are used to indicate un-
classed miscellaneous improvements.

Each residential class has also been described with typical values for certain specific characteristics.
These characteristics are (1) the garage capacity, (2) bedroom count, (3) bathroom count, (4) central
heat, and (5) central air. Additionally, all account records have been pre-loaded with the values that are
typical for the property class, except where specific field data has been collected to indicate that an in-
dividual account deviates from the typical.

From the standpoint of processing our data, the implication is that these five specific data items may, or
may not, accurately represent a specific property. For example, a typical class 7 home has three bed-
rooms, two baths, a 2-car garage, and both central heat and central air. These values were placed on
all class 7 homes (except as noted above). A specific class 7 home may deviate significantly from our
typical data values and, unless we were able to collect that data in the field, we will not accurately re-
flect those deviations in our file.

Appendix K lists each residential class and its associated typical values.

Appendix H, containing the list of SIC codes used by Tarrant Appraisal District, has been replaced by
the SIC records on the Distribution Tape itself. If you have need for the printed list please contact Tar-
rant Appraisal District.

Standard Distribution Data, 2013 Appendix I
Appendix I, which in previous years contained a graphical representation of the record layouts for the
various records contained on the Distribution Tape, no longer exists. The software used to produce the
drawings has become obsolete and upgrades are not available. Recreating the drawings in another,
more contemporary product, is too labor intensive to be practical. Please refer to the text descriptions of
the records instead.

Special Considerations for Leasing Companies and Utilities

Beginning with the J uly, 1996 distribution tape, leasing companies and other businesses with as-
sets in multiple locations (pipelines, railroads, utilities, etc.) have been arranged into a parent-
child account structure. Each parent account is identified with a V in position 269 of the PERS
record. The value stored in the parent record represents the total depreciated value of the assets,
without duplication, regardless of their location within the county. The child records, identified by a
C in position 269, represent the depreciated value of the assets in a specific taxing jurisdiction,
with each taxing jurisdiction having its own child account. Each child account contains the account
number of its parent in the field normally associated with the RE account number (position 21 of
the PERS record). Using this account number it is possible to reconstruct the parent-child rela-
tionships.

Please note that the parent account is a requirement for the structure and integrity of the child
relationships and is supplied for informational purposes only! Parent accounts are never provided
to taxing jurisdictions and are never billed.
