What does ETALS mean on a property tax bill?

When computers first started to be used for property tax collections, memory capacity was a problem (remember Y2K because 2-digit year references were made instead of 4-digit?). Et al. is an abbreviated term for Latin meaning "and others." For example, if the property owners were John Smith and Mary Smith, the property tax bill may say Smith, John et al. (ETALS is incorrect as et al. is already plural). Most assessment and tax offices have made it a practice to gradually update their records as properties are sold to write out the ownership, with perhaps using et al. after listing for first two owners cited on the deed of ownership.
