§ 502. Form of assessment roll. 1. The form of the assessment roll shall be prescribed or approved by the state board, in accordance with the requirements contained in this section. 2. Provision shall be made with respect to each separately assessed parcel of real property for the entry, in appropriate columns, of the name of the owner, last known owner or reputed owner and a description sufficient to identify the same, including the surnames of the abutting property owners and the names of the abutting streets or highways, the approximate number of square feet, square rods or acres contained therein or a statement of the linear dimensions thereof. Separately assessed privately owned streets or roads, such as those situated within a subdivision, may be described in a single account in the name of the owner, last known owner or reputed owner thereof. When a tax map has been approved by the state board, reference to the lot, block and section number or other identification numbers of any parcel on such map shall be deemed a sufficient description of such parcel. 3. The assessment roll shall set forth the uniform percentage of value applicable to the assessing unit (or in a special assessing unit, the uniform percentage of value applicable to the class) pursuant to section three hundred five of this chapter, and shall provide for the entry with respect to each separately assessed parcel of the assessed valuation of the land exclusive of any improvements, the total assessed valuation, and the full value of the parcel.

Provision shall be made for the entry of assessments of parcels of real property wholly exempt from taxation in a separate part of the roll. If a parcel of real property is partially exempt, it shall be entered with the taxable property, with the amount of the exemption shown in a separate column. Property exempt from taxation in a limited amount shall be entered with the taxable property although the amount of the exemption equals the assessed valuation. 6.
