Tyler Technologies, Inc. recently signed an agreement with Delaware County, Pa., for Tyler’s CLT Appraisal Services. Tyler’s multi-year reassessment project will continue through 2020, culminating in tax bills using the updated values in 2021, the company announced in a release.
Delaware County conducted its previous revaluation in 1999 with Tyler, and used the new values for tax bills in 2000. Given the changes in property values over the last 17 years, a revaluation of Delaware County was court ordered, a common practice in Pennsylvania. The county selected Tyler to provide its CLT Appraisal Services because of their long-standing relationship. Not only did Tyler conduct Delaware County’s previous reassessment, but the county also uses Tyler’s iasWorld appraisal and tax administration software to manage all property data.
“Tyler will conduct a reassessment of the county’s more than 200,000 parcels. Work has already begun, and Tyler has staff in the field using Tyler Verify software to capture updated street-level images and perform data reviews of each property,” the company said in a release. “The project also includes building sketch verification, data verification and field checks, data analysis, data mailers, and final review before assessment notices are sent to taxpayers.”
Tyler’s CLT Appraisal Services is the country’s oldest and only national mass appraisal services offering, and has appraised nearly 50 million parcels of residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial properties across 46 states.
Delaware County is the fifth largest county in Pennsylvania, with a population of more than 500,000, and is adjacent to Philadelphia. Tyler also provides appraisal and tax solutions to Pennsylvania’s four largest counties, the release added.
