Summary of Specifications:
Orange County ("County") consists of 20 towns, 3 cities, 19 villages, and 22 school districts. The collectors for these municipalities are broken down as follows: 20 town collectors, 3 city collectors, 19 village collectors, and 24 school collectors. New York State Office of Real Property Services, under the Centralized Property Tax Administration, has issued grants for the purpose of studying improvements to local tax collection practices. Since many of the County’s existing systems need to be drastically overhauled, the County has been working toward a consolidation of efforts for several years. The County’s vision is to have an Integrated Property Management System that will fulfill all the needs of the local governments by bringing together, into one common system, all the functions listed below. Phase I of this endeavor is the creation of the Tax Collection Function, which will develop into the Enhanced Countywide Property Data System. This enhanced system will consolidate the following functions: Parcel Data Tax Collection Assessement Data Building Dept. Permits Code Enforcement Utility Billing GIS Tax Maps SDG Property Images Permit Tracking Field Inspections Complaint Tracking Planning & Zoning
