Why Franchise Billing Assessments Can Differ Between County and School

Why Franchise Billing Assessments Can Differ Between County and School

• When a Public Service bill shows mismatched totals for County and School assessments, it often means both share the same classification code.

• If so, DTAX will calculate both from one value, even when the DOR apportions them differently.
  Solution:

1. Verify classification codes for County and School.

2. Create separate codes if needed (e.g., 203 = County, 204 = School).

3. Recalculate or reenter the bill using the corrected codes.

• Avoid manual edits when possible; consistent code setup prevents future mismatches.
