Tax Roll Submission Since 2009 tax collectors must submit detailed non-ad valorem tax rolls and summary reports to DOR. Tax rolls and reports are due to DOR on or before December 15 each year. DOR reviews the summary and detail reports to ensure complete submission and posts statewide summary reports on the data portal. * If December 15 falls on Saturday or Sunday, the deadline will be moved to the next business day.
