Taxable real property shall be listed in the name of the January 1st owner, and it shall be the owner’s duty to list it. However, in Randolph County, the County Commissioners have adopted a permanent listing system whereby all real property is listed automatically for the taxpayers once a deed is recorded with the Register of Deeds office. Any changes made to building must be reported during the listing period. The tax bill is always generated for the January 1st owner of the real property and/or any of the aforementioned personal property.
