Congratulations to David Harper and the Kansas Department of Revenue for receiving the Tyler Technologies Excellence Award this week for Data & Transparency. The KDOR Division of Property Valuation is using the Assessment & Tax Pro or “Assessment Connect”, to utilize the data collected and reported from the statewide computer-assisted mass appraisal system. Adding Assessment Connect to their statewide implementation of Assessment & Tax Pro provided:
* Automated collection and aggregation of appraisal data for 105 counties across the state making it faster and easier to access and respond to data requests.
* Easy access to commercial and residential comparable property and sales data
* 50+ new metrics and reports that serve as analytical tools for counties and the state
* Increased public transparency through the Open Data portal
Harper received the award at the Connect 24 Conference in Indianapolis in May.
The Information Network of Kansas helped by providing a grant to support KDOR with the Assessment Connect tool.
