Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2018 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2018 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 (“ 2018 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 31, 2019 ; the results of our operations and changes in equity for the three -month periods ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 ; and our cash flows for the three -month periods ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 . The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Revenue Recognition As discussed under “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below, on November 1, 2018 we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). As a result of this adoption, we updated our revenue recognition policies effective November 1, 2018, as follows: Home sales revenues: Revenues and cost of revenues from home sales are recognized at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. For the majority of our home closings, our performance obligation to deliver a home is satisfied in less than one year from the date a binding sale agreement is signed. In certain states that we build, we are not able to complete certain outdoor features prior to the closing of the home. Effective November 1, 2018, to the extent these separate performance obligations are not complete upon the home closing, we defer a portion of the home sales revenues related to these obligations and subsequently recognize the revenue upon completion of such obligations. As of January 31, 2019 , we deferred home sales revenues and related costs of $3.1 million and $2.3 million , respectively, related to obligations not completed on closed homes. Our contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers for sold but undelivered homes, totaled $406.4 million and $410.9 million at January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , respectively. Of the outstanding deposits held as of October 31, 2018 , we recognized $96.5 million in home sales revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2019 . Land sales revenues: Our revenues from land sales generally consist of the following: (1) lot sales to third-party builders within our master planned communities; (2) land sales to joint ventures in which we retain an interest; and (3) bulk land sales to third parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria. In general, our performance obligation for each of these land sales is fulfilled upon the delivery of the land, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash consideration from the counterparty. Effective November 1, 2018, in land sale transactions that contain repurchase options, revenues and related costs are not recognized until the repurchase option expires. In addition, when we sell land to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, we do not recognize revenue or gains on the sale to the extent of our retained interest in such joint venture. Forfeited Customer Deposits: Effective November 1, 2018, forfeited customer deposits are recognized in “Home sales revenues” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and we have the right to retain the deposit. Sales Incentives: In order to promote sales of our homes, from time to time we grant our home buyers sales incentives. These incentives will vary by type of incentive and by amount on a community-by-community and home-by-home basis. Incentives that impact the value of the home or the sales price paid, such as special or additional options, are generally reflected as a reduction in home sales revenues. Incentives that we pay to an outside party, such as paying some or all of a home buyer’s closing costs, are recorded as an additional home sales cost of revenues. Incentives are recognized at the time the home is delivered to the home buyer and we receive the sales proceeds. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and we adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not completed as of November 1, 2018. We recognized the cumulative effect, net of tax, of applying ASU 2014-09 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous accounting standards. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations or Comprehensive Income, and there have been no significant changes to our internal controls, processes, or systems as a result of implementing this new standard. However, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in the following changes: • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, we capitalized certain costs related to our marketing efforts, including sales offices and model home upgrades and furnishings within “Inventory” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized such costs through “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we reclassified $104.8 million to “Property, construction, and office equipment, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily related to sales offices and model home improvement costs. The amortization of such costs will remain unchanged and will continue to be included in “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $13.2 million for certain other marketing costs that no longer qualify for capitalization under the new guidance, and such costs will be expensed as incurred in the future. • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, we recorded our land sale revenues, net of their related expenses, within “Other income – net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we are presenting this activity in income from operations and breaking out the components of land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, due to the existence of certain repurchase options in existing agreements to sell lots to third party builders in our master planned communities, both for wholly-owned projects as well as projects in which we are a joint venture partner, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $4.6 million to account for previously settled lots for which the related repurchase option has not yet expired. The revenue and related expenses for such lots will be recognized in future periods when such repurchase options expire. • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, retained customer deposits were classified in “Other income – net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, retained customer deposits, which totaled $3.2 million during the three months ended January 31, 2019, are included in “Home sales revenue” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Prior period balances for retained customer deposits have not been reclassified and are not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we adopted ASU 2017-05 concurrent with our adoption of ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2017-05 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”), which provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and resulted in a change in the presentation to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified and makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventory	Inventory Inventory at January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands): January 31, October 31, Land controlled for future communities $ 156,731 $ 139,985 Land owned for future communities 1,088,128 916,616 Operating communities 6,469,784 6,541,618 $ 7,714,643 $ 7,598,219 Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale; communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes; communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on; and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes. Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions do not have any remaining backlog and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified as land owned for future communities. Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below: January 31, October 31, Land owned for future communities: Number of communities 17 17 Carrying value (in thousands) $ 124,315 $ 124,426 Operating communities: Number of communities 1 1 Carrying value (in thousands) $ 2,625 $ 2,622 The amounts we have provided for inventory impairment charges and the expensing of costs that we believed not to be recoverable, for the periods indicated, are shown in the table below (amounts in thousands): Three months ended January 31, 2019 2018 Land controlled for future communities $ 1,777 $ 117 Operating communities 5,785 3,736 $ 7,562 $ 3,853 See Note 11, “Fair Value Disclosures,” for information regarding the number of operating communities that we tested for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and the fair values of those communities, net of impairment charges. At January 31, 2019 , we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At January 31, 2019 , we determined that 119 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.86 billion , on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $124.2 million , were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2018 , we determined that 110 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $1.88 billion , on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $120.5 million , were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. Interest incurred, capitalized, and expensed, for the periods indicated, was as follows (amounts in thousands): Three months ended January 31, 2019 2018 Interest capitalized, beginning of period $ 319,364 $ 352,049 Interest incurred 44,422 38,687 Interest expensed to home sales cost of revenues (34,441 ) (33,885 ) Interest expensed to land sales cost of revenues (352 ) — Interest expensed in other income — (716 ) Interest capitalized on investments in unconsolidated entities (1,814 ) (1,711 ) Previously capitalized interest on investments in unconsolidated entities transferred to inventory 2,988 72 Interest capitalized, end of period $ 330,167 $ 354,496

We acquired 30 of these lots for $3.2 million . Our share of the income of $500,000 from the lots we acquired was deferred by reducing our basis in those lots. Home Building Joint Ventures Our Home Building Joint Ventures are delivering homes in New York, New York, and Jupiter, Florida. During the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , our Home Building Joint Ventures delivered 17 homes with a sales value of $27.3 million and 28 homes with a sales value of $32.6 million , respectively. Rental Property Joint Ventures As of January 31, 2019 , our Rental Property Joint Ventures, including those that we consolidate, owned 20 for-rent apartment projects and a hotel, which are located in the metro Boston, Massachusetts to metro Washington, D.C. corridor; San Diego, California; Miami, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; and Frisco, Texas. At January 31, 2019 , these joint ventures had approximately 2,100 units that were occupied or ready for occupancy, 1,500 units in the lease-up stage, and 1,450 units under development. In addition, we either own, have under contract, or under a letter of intent approximately 13,050 units, of which 1,450 units are under active development; we intend to develop these units in joint ventures with unrelated parties in the future. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we entered into two joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury for-rent residential apartment projects located in Harrison, New York and Frisco, Texas. Prior to the formation of these joint ventures, we acquired the properties and incurred approximately $41.9 million of land and land development costs. Our partners each acquired a 75% interest in these entities for an aggregate amount of $39.8 million and we recognized a gain on land sale of $8.4 million in our first quarter of fiscal 2019. At January 31, 2019 , we had an aggregate investment of $12.7 million in these joint ventures. Concurrent with their formation, these joint ventures entered into construction loan agreements for an aggregate amount of $134.4 million to finance the development of these projects. At January 31, 2019 , the joint ventures had no outstanding borrowings under these construction loan facilities. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we entered into three joint ventures with unrelated parties to develop luxury for-rent residential apartment projects located in Boston, Massachusetts, San Diego, California, and a student housing community in Miami, Florida. We contributed an aggregate of $62.4 million for our initial ownership interests in these joint ventures, which ranged from 50% to 98% . Due to our controlling financial interest, our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s performance, and/or our obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from these joint ventures, we consolidated these joint ventures at January 31, 2019 . The carrying value of these joint ventures’ assets totaling $95.8 million are reflected in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . Our partners’ interests aggregating $32.9 million in the joint ventures are reflected as a component of “Noncontrolling interest” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . These joint ventures intend to obtain additional equity investors and secure third-party financing at a later date. At such time, it is expected that these entities would no longer be consolidated. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 289 -unit luxury for-rent residential apartment project in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. We contributed cash of $15.9 million for our initial 85% ownership interest in this joint venture. Due to our controlling financial interest, our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s performance, and/or our obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from the joint venture, we have consolidated this joint venture at January 31, 2019 . The carrying value of the joint venture’s assets totaling $19.7 million are reflected in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . Our partner’s 15% interest of $2.8 million in the joint venture is reflected as a component of “Noncontrolling interest” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . The joint venture intends to obtain additional equity investors and secure third-party financing at a later date. At such time, it is expected that the entity would no longer be consolidated. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, one of our Rental Property Joint Ventures sold its assets to an unrelated party for $219.0 million . The joint venture had owned, developed, and operated a student housing community in College Park, Maryland. In connection with the sale, the joint venture’s existing $110.0 million loan was repaid. We received cash of $39.3 million and recognized a gain of $30.8 million in the three months ended January 31, 2018, which is included in “Income from unconsolidated entities” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In 1998, we formed the Trust to invest in commercial real estate opportunities. The Trust is effectively owned one-third by us; one-third by current and former members of our senior management; and one-third by an unrelated party. As of January 31, 2019 , our investment in the Trust was zero as cumulative distributions received from the Trust have been in excess of the carrying amount of our net investment. We provide development, finance, and management services to the Trust and recognized fees under the terms of various agreements in the amount of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the three -month periods ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Subsequent Event In February 2019, we entered into a joint venture with an unrelated party to develop a 263 -unit student housing community in Tempe, Arizona. We contributed cash of $17.0 million for our initial 87% ownership interest in this joint venture. Due to our controlling financial interest, our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s performance, and/or our obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from the joint venture, we expect to consolidate this joint venture. The joint venture expects to admit an additional investor and secure third-party financing at a later date. Gibraltar Joint Ventures We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Gibraltar Capital and Asset Management, LLC (“Gibraltar”), have entered into five ventures with an institutional investor to provide builders and developers with land banking and venture capital. These ventures will finance builders’ and developers’ acquisition and development of land and home sites and pursue other complementary investment strategies. We also are a member in a separate venture with the same institutional investor, which purchased, from Gibraltar, certain foreclosed real estate owned and distressed loans in fiscal 2016. Our ownership interest in these ventures is approximately 25% . We may invest up to $100.0 million in these ventures. As of January 31, 2019 , we had an aggregate investment of $17.0 million in these ventures. Guarantees The unconsolidated entities in which we have investments generally finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, we and our partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. These guarantees may include any or all of the following: (i) project completion guarantees, including any cost overruns; (ii) repayment guarantees, generally covering a percentage of the outstanding loan; (iii) carry cost guarantees, which cover costs such as interest, real estate taxes, and insurance; (iv) an environmental indemnity provided to the lender that holds the lender harmless from and against losses arising from the discharge of hazardous materials from the property and non-compliance with applicable environmental laws; and (v) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity. In some instances, the guarantees provided in connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity are joint and several. In these situations, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner that provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share or agreed upon share of the guarantee; however, if a joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share. We believe that, as of January 31, 2019 , in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of an obligation of an unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event, the collateral in such entity should be sufficient to repay a significant portion of the obligation. If it is not, we and our partners would need to contribute additional capital to the venture. At January 31, 2019 , certain unconsolidated entities have loan commitments aggregating $1.28 billion , of which, if the full amount of the debt obligations were borrowed, we estimate $308.3 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. At January 31, 2019 , the unconsolidated entities had borrowed an aggregate of $861.2 million , of which we estimate $261.5 million to be our maximum exposure related to repayment and carry cost guarantees. The terms of these guarantees generally range from 5 months to 45 months . These maximum exposure estimates do not take into account any recoveries from the underlying collateral or any reimbursement from our partners. As of January 31, 2019 , the estimated aggregate fair value of the guarantees provided by us related to debt and other obligations of certain unconsolidated entities was approximately $6.2 million . We have not made payments under any of the guarantees, nor have we been called upon to do so. Variable Interest Entities At January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , we determined that fourteen and eleven , respectively, of our joint ventures were VIEs under the guidance of ASC 810, “Consolidation.” For ten of these VIEs as of January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because the power to direct the activities of such VIEs that most significantly impact their performance was either shared by us and such VIEs’ other partners or such activities were controlled by our partner. For VIEs where the power to direct significant activities is shared, business plans, budgets, and other major decisions are required to be unanimously approved by all members. Management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market rates, and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and the other members. The information presented below regarding the investments, commitments, and guarantees in unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs is also included in the information provided above. As discussed under “Rental Property Joint Ventures” above, we consolidated four joint ventures as of January 31, 2019 . The carrying value of these joint ventures’ assets totaling $115.5 million is reflected in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . Our partners’ interests aggregating $35.7 million in the joint ventures are reflected as a component of “Noncontrolling interest” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2019 . These joint ventures were determined to be VIEs due to their current inability to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support as well as our partners’ inability to participate in the significant decisions of the joint venture and their lack of substantive kick-out rights. We further concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs due to our controlling financial interest in such ventures as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint ventures’ performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or receive benefits from the joint ventures. The assets of these VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIEs. In addition, in certain of the joint ventures, in the event additional contributions are required to be funded to the joint ventures prior to the admission of any additional investor at a future date, we will fund 100% of such contributions, including our partner’s pro rata share, which we expect would be funded through an interest-bearing loan. At January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , our investments in the unconsolidated entities deemed to be VIEs totaled $34.6 million and $33.8 million , respectively. At January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , the maximum exposure of loss to our investments in these entities was limited to our investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $70.0 million of loan guarantees and $10.8 million of additional commitments to the VIEs. Of our potential exposure for these loan guarantees, $70.0 million is related to loan repayment and carry cost guarantees, of which $70.0 million was borrowed at January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 .

In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends was limited to approximately $2.10 billion as of January 31, 2019 . Credit Facility We have a $1.295 billion , five -year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in May 2021 . We and substantially all of our 100% -owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at January 31, 2019 , our maximum leverage ratio, as defined, may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, as defined, of no less than approximately $2.53 billion .

Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.94 billion as of January 31, 2019 . In addition, under the provisions of the Credit Facility, our ability to pay cash dividends was limited to approximately $2.25 billion as of January 31, 2019 .

During fiscal 2019 , we continued to receive water intrusion claims from homeowners in this region, mostly related to older homes, and we continue to perform review procedures to assess, among other things, the number of affected homes, whether repairs are likely to be required, and the extent of such repairs. Our review process, conducted quarterly, includes an analysis of many factors applicable to these communities to determine whether a claim is likely to be received and the estimated costs to resolve any such claim, including: the closing dates of the homes; the number of claims received; our inspection of homes; an estimate of the number of homes we expect to repair; the type and cost of repairs that have been performed in each community; the estimated costs to remediate pending and future claims; the expected recovery from our insurance carriers and suppliers; and the previously recorded amounts related to these claims. We also monitor legal developments relating to these types of claims and review the volume, relative merits and adjudication of claims in litigation or arbitration. As of January 31, 2019 , our recorded aggregate estimated repair costs to be incurred for known and unknown water intrusion claims was $324.4 million , which was unchanged from October 31, 2016, and our recorded aggregate expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $152.6 million , which was also unchanged from October 31, 2016. Our recorded remaining estimated repair costs, which reflects a reduction for the aggregate amount expended to resolve claims, were approximately $161.0 million at January 31, 2019 and $177.6 million at October 31, 2018 . Our recorded remaining expected recoveries from insurance carriers and suppliers were approximately $104.1 million at January 31, 2019 and $109.3 million at October 31, 2018

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We recorded an income tax provision of $39.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2019 as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2018 . The effective tax rate was 26.0% for the three months ended January 31, 2019 , compared to (0.4)% for the three months ended January 31, 2018 . The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2018 was primarily due to a $31.2 million income tax benefit from the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liability as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The income tax provisions for both periods included a provision for state income taxes; interest accrued on anticipated tax assessments; excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation; and other permanent differences. The Tax Act, among other changes, reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. For companies with a fiscal year that does not end on December 31, the change in law requires the application of a blended tax rate for the year of the change. Our blended tax rate for the fiscal 2018 period was 23.3% . For the fiscal 2019 period and thereafter, the applicable statutory rate is 21% . The Tax Act also repealed the domestic production activities deduction effective for the fiscal 2019 period. We are subject to state tax in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We estimate our state tax liability based upon the individual taxing authorities’ regulations, estimates of income by taxing jurisdiction, and our ability to utilize certain tax-saving strategies. Based on our estimate of the allocation of income or loss among the various taxing jurisdictions and changes in tax regulations and their impact on our tax strategies, we estimate that our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2019 will be approximately 6.8% . Our state income tax rate for the full fiscal year 2018 was 6.6% . At January 31, 2019 , we had $9.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. If these unrecognized tax benefits were to reverse in the future, they would have a beneficial impact on our effective tax rate at that time. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will change, but we are not able to provide a range of such change.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	Fair Value Disclosures Financial Instruments The table below provides, as of the dates indicated, a summary of assets (liabilities) related to our financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis (amounts in thousands): Fair value Financial Instrument Fair value hierarchy January 31, October 31, 2018 Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Level 2 $ 88,840 $ 170,731 Forward Loan Commitments — Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Level 2 $ (685 ) $ 1,750 Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) Level 2 $ 1,086 $ (4,366 ) Forward Loan Commitments — IRLCs Level 2 $ (1,086 ) $ 4,366 At January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and customer deposits held in escrow approximated fair value. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale At the end of the reporting period, we determine the fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale and the forward loan commitments we have entered into as a hedge against the interest rate risk of our mortgage loans and commitments using the market approach to determine fair value. The table below provides, as of the dates indicated, the aggregate unpaid principal and fair value of mortgage loans held for sale (amounts in thousands): Aggregate unpaid principal balance Fair value Excess At January 31, 2019 $ 87,105 $ 88,840 $ 1,735 At October 31, 2018 $ 170,728 $ 170,731 $ 3 Inventory We recognize inventory impairment charges based on the difference in the carrying value of the inventory and its fair value at the time of the evaluation. The fair value of inventory was determined using Level 3 criteria. See Note 1, “Si gnificant Accounting Policies – Inventory,” in our 2018 Form 10-K for information regarding our methodology for determining fair value. The table below summarizes, for the periods indicated, the ranges of certain quantitative unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired operating communities: Three months ended: Selling price per unit ($ in thousands) Sales pace per year (in units) Discount rate Fiscal 2019: January 31 836 - 13,495 2 - 12 12.5% - 15.8% Fiscal 2018: January 31 381 - 1,029 7 - 10 13.8% - 19.0% April 30 485 - 522 10 - 16 16.9% July 31 (1) – – – October 31 470 - 1071 4 - 23 13.5% - 16.3% (1) The impairment charges recognized were related to our decisions to sell lots in a bulk sale in certain communities rather than sell and construct homes as previously intended. The sale price per lot used in the fair value determination for these bulk sales ranged from $10,000 to $155,000 . The table below provides, for the periods indicated, the number of operating communities that we reviewed for potential impairment, the number of operating communities in which we recognized impairment charges, the amount of impairment charges recognized, and, as of the end of the period indicated, the fair value of those communities, net of impairment charges ($ amounts in thousands): Impaired operating communities Three months ended: Number of Number of Fair value of Impairment charges recognized Fiscal 2019: January 31 (1) 49 5 $ 37,282 $ 5,785 $ 5,785 Fiscal 2018: January 31 64 5 $ 13,318 $ 3,736 April 30 (2) 65 4 $ 21,811 13,325 July 31 (3) 55 5 $ 43,063 9,065 October 31 43 6 $ 24,692 4,025 $ 30,151 (1) Includes $2.8 million ( one community), $1.5 million ( three communities), and $1.5 million ( one community) located in our City Living, North, and South segments, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings We are involved in various claims and litigation arising principally in the ordinary course of business. We believe that adequate provision for resolution of all current claims and pending litigation has been made and that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition. In March 2018, the Pennsylvania Attorney General informed the Company that it was conducting a review of our construction of stucco homes in Pennsylvania after January 1, 2005 and requested that we voluntarily produce documents and information. The Company has produced documents and information in response to this request. Management cannot at this time predict the eventual scope or outcome of this matter. Land Purchase Commitments Generally, our agreements to acquire land parcels do not require us to purchase those land parcels, although we, in some cases, forfeit any deposit balance outstanding if and when we terminate an agreement. Information regarding our land purchase commitments, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below (amounts in thousands): January 31, 2019 October 31, 2018 Aggregate purchase commitments: Unrelated parties $ 2,337,177 $ 2,404,660 Unconsolidated entities that the Company has investments in 62,864 128,235 Total $ 2,400,041 $ 2,532,895 Deposits against aggregate purchase commitments $ 163,554 $ 168,421 Credits to be received from unconsolidated entities 61,393 79,168 Additional cash required to acquire land 2,175,094 2,285,306 Total $ 2,400,041 $ 2,532,895 Amount of additional cash required to acquire land included in accrued expenses $ 7,496 $ 40,103 In addition, we expect to purchase approximately 2,600 additional home sites over a number of years from several joint ventures in which we have interests; the purchase prices of these home sites will be determined at a future date. At January 31, 2019 , we also had purchase commitments to acquire land for apartment developments of approximately $274.2 million , of which we had outstanding deposits in the amount of $10.5 million . We intend to develop these projects in joint ventures with unrelated parties in the future. We have additional land parcels under option that have been excluded from the aggregate purchase commitments since we do not believe that we will complete the purchase of these land parcels and no additional funds will be required from us to terminate these contracts. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities At January 31, 2019 , we had investments in a number of unconsolidated entities, were committed to invest or advance additional funds, and had guaranteed a portion of the indebtedness and/or loan commitments of these entities. See Note 3, “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for more information regarding our commitments to these entities. Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit At January 31, 2019 , we had outstanding surety bonds amounting to $713.8 million , primarily related to our obligations to governmental entities to construct improvements in our communities. We estimate that approximately $330.7 million of work remains on these improvements. We have an additional $160.9 million of surety bonds outstanding that guarantee other obligations. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding bonds will be drawn upon. At January 31, 2019 , we had outstanding letters of credit of $174.4 million under our Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations, including insurance policy deductibles and other claims, land deposits, and security to complete improvements in communities in which we are operating. We do not believe that it is probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon. Backlog At January 31, 2019 , we had agreements of sale outstanding to deliver 5,954 homes with an aggregate sales value of $5.37 billion .

The guarantees are full and unconditional. Our non-home building subsidiaries and several of our home building subsidiaries (together, the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee these Senior Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer generates no operating revenues and does not have any independent operations other than the financing of our other subsidiaries by lending the proceeds from the above-described debt issuances. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued provide that any of our subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of our obligations under the Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. The indentures further provide that any Guarantor Subsidiary may be released from its guarantee so long as (i) no default or event of default exists or would result from release of such guarantee; (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary being released has consolidated net worth of less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries released from their guarantees in any fiscal year comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a default) of our consolidated net worth as of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter; (iv) such release would not have a material adverse effect on our and our subsidiaries’ home building business; and (v) the Guarantor Subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the Credit Facility. If there are no guarantors under the Credit Facility, all Guarantor Subsidiaries under the indentures will be released from their guarantees. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such disclosures would not be material to investors.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in 50% or less owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method unless it is determined that we have effective control of the entity, in which case we would consolidate the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The October 31, 2018 balance sheet amounts and disclosures included herein have been derived from our October 31, 2018 audited financial statements. Since the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 (“ 2018 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of January 31, 2019 ; the results of our operations and changes in equity for the three -month periods ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 ; and our cash flows for the three -month periods ended January 31, 2019 and 2018
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition As discussed under “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below, on November 1, 2018 we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). As a result of this adoption, we updated our revenue recognition policies effective November 1, 2018, as follows: Home sales revenues: Revenues and cost of revenues from home sales are recognized at the time each home is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. For the majority of our home closings, our performance obligation to deliver a home is satisfied in less than one year from the date a binding sale agreement is signed. In certain states that we build, we are not able to complete certain outdoor features prior to the closing of the home. Effective November 1, 2018, to the extent these separate performance obligations are not complete upon the home closing, we defer a portion of the home sales revenues related to these obligations and subsequently recognize the revenue upon completion of such obligations. As of January 31, 2019 , we deferred home sales revenues and related costs of $3.1 million and $2.3 million , respectively, related to obligations not completed on closed homes. Our contract liabilities, consisting of deposits received from customers for sold but undelivered homes, totaled $406.4 million and $410.9 million at January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 , respectively. Of the outstanding deposits held as of October 31, 2018 , we recognized $96.5 million in home sales revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2019 . Land sales revenues: Our revenues from land sales generally consist of the following: (1) lot sales to third-party builders within our master planned communities; (2) land sales to joint ventures in which we retain an interest; and (3) bulk land sales to third parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria. In general, our performance obligation for each of these land sales is fulfilled upon the delivery of the land, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash consideration from the counterparty. Effective November 1, 2018, in land sale transactions that contain repurchase options, revenues and related costs are not recognized until the repurchase option expires. In addition, when we sell land to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, we do not recognize revenue or gains on the sale to the extent of our retained interest in such joint venture. Forfeited Customer Deposits: Effective November 1, 2018, forfeited customer deposits are recognized in “Home sales revenues” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the period in which we determine that the customer will not complete the purchase of the home and we have the right to retain the deposit. Sales Incentives:
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the previous guidance. These judgments and estimates include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018, and we adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not completed as of November 1, 2018. We recognized the cumulative effect, net of tax, of applying ASU 2014-09 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the previous accounting standards. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations or Comprehensive Income, and there have been no significant changes to our internal controls, processes, or systems as a result of implementing this new standard. However, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in the following changes: • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, we capitalized certain costs related to our marketing efforts, including sales offices and model home upgrades and furnishings within “Inventory” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized such costs through “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we reclassified $104.8 million to “Property, construction, and office equipment, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily related to sales offices and model home improvement costs. The amortization of such costs will remain unchanged and will continue to be included in “Selling, general, and administrative” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Additionally, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $13.2 million for certain other marketing costs that no longer qualify for capitalization under the new guidance, and such costs will be expensed as incurred in the future. • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, we recorded our land sale revenues, net of their related expenses, within “Other income – net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, we are presenting this activity in income from operations and breaking out the components of land sales revenues and land sales cost of revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In addition, due to the existence of certain repurchase options in existing agreements to sell lots to third party builders in our master planned communities, both for wholly-owned projects as well as projects in which we are a joint venture partner, we recorded a net cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $4.6 million to account for previously settled lots for which the related repurchase option has not yet expired. The revenue and related expenses for such lots will be recognized in future periods when such repurchase options expire. • Prior to adoption of ASU 2014-09, retained customer deposits were classified in “Other income – net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of November 1, 2018, retained customer deposits, which totaled $3.2 million during the three months ended January 31, 2019, are included in “Home sales revenue” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Prior period balances for retained customer deposits have not been reclassified and are not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 also added guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and we adopted ASU 2017-05 concurrent with our adoption of ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2017-05 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”), which provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and resulted in a change in the presentation to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified and makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2018 and did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
