Tyler Technologies, Inc. announced that Multnomah County, Oregon, successfully has gone live with the core functions of Tyler’s Orion appraisal and tax administration software solution. In the coming months, the county and Tyler will continue to expand on the capabilities in the software, including the implementation of Orion Field Mobile, the company announced in a press release.
With a population of more than 800,000, Multnomah County is the state’s largest county, and home to Portland. Multnomah County said it selected Tyler Technologies because it required an experienced team to manage appraisal of its 340,000 parcels, and because of Tyler’s reputation as an industry leader in computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) technology.
In addition, the county has a history of successful Tyler projects dating back many years, demonstrating Tyler’s experience with the county’s technology environment, as well as its familiarity with Oregon’s unique property statutes, according to the company’s release.
“As a high-growth area drawing new residents and businesses from around the country, Multnomah County requires a solution that can not only handle our current needs, but also carry us into the future,” Mike Vaughn, division director and assessor of the Multnomah County Division of Assessment Recording & Taxation, said in the release. “Over the years, Tyler has shown an ongoing commitment to meeting the unique needs of Multnomah County to ensure the value of our long-term investment and positioning us for ongoing success.”
Tyler Technologies also emphasized that by using its newly installed appraisal and tax software solution, Multnomah County now can streamline repetitive tasks, maximize efficiencies and organize complex data into useful, actionable information. Benefits to the county include increased productivity, enhanced workflow, superior customer service, improved quality, and reduced costs.
Multnomah County residents will benefit from more accurate property values that uphold fair and equitable taxation, the release said.
“Multnomah County’s technology and regulatory landscape required thorough and specific solutions and we are proud of the innovation that grew from our collaboration with the county’s team, from initial agreement through implementation,” said Mark Hawkins, senior vice president of software operations in Tyler’s Appraisal & Tax Division. “Multnomah County’s CAMA and tax project with Tyler lays the groundwork for other Oregon counties to modernize their appraisal and tax solutions simply and efficiently.”
