Solution: Cloud-based Property Tax Management System
Client: Municipal Tax Department
Focus: Online Access and Self Service
Challenge
The Municipal Tax Department relied on a legacy property tax system built on an ACCESS database. Over time, this system became difficult to manage and inefficient.
Online tax payments were processed through a separate system. Staff had to manually download and upload payment data, which caused delays and increased the risk of errors. The system also did not connect with other municipal systems. As a result, staff had to handle credit and lien inquiries by phone, slowing down service and productivity.
Solution
Sitek, Inc. partnered with the Municipal Tax Department to understand their goals and modernize their property tax process. The result was a custom web-based property tax application designed to simplify operations, improve accuracy, and support long-term growth.
“SITEK, Inc. took our vision of a property tax software program and brought it to life. We received the new software program on time and on budget and did not miss a beat during the 2022 calendar year tax collection period.”
