Northampton County, Virginia 1940 General Reassessment and 1945 Land Tax Records

By Allen B Hamilton

This is the tenth volume in a series of land tax records, which offers a wealth of valuable genealogical data presented in a convenient table format with entries listed alphabetically by surname within each section. Totals are provided for each section. The only extant land records in the 1930s are for 1936 and 1939, which are not available on microfilm. The 1940 Reassessment contains most of the same information found in land tax records.

The column headings for 1940 Reassessment by "District" include: Name of Owner, P.O. Address of Owner, Description (location of land or lots), Number of Acres in parcel, Value of property per acre, Value of Lot or Land, Value of Building & Improvements, and Total Value of Land/Lot and Building. In 1945, column 8 replaced the value of Land/Lot and Building with County/District Levy.

The column headings for 1940 Reassessment by "Town" include: Name of Owner, P.O. Address of Owner, Description of Lots by # or partial lots, # of Section or Block, Value of the Lot, Value of the Building & Improvements, and Value of Land/Lot and Building. In 1945, column 8 was added listing the amount of tax collected.
