Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with
Washington County, Oregon, for Tyler's Orion™ appraisal and
tax administration software solution. This agreement includes software
licenses, project management, training, and professional services.
Officials at Washington County recognized that the legacy assessment and
taxation system had reached the end of its useful life, and they sought
a new solution to meet today's needs and position the county for future
trends. The solution would also need to accommodate Oregon's complex
property tax system, in which voter initiatives and legislative actions
commonly modify property tax statutes.
The county's Department of Assessment and Taxation is responsible for
appraising nearly $91 billion in real market value and collecting $963
million in property taxes from 192,000 separate accounts to fund public
safety, education, parks and other local and regional government
services.
After thorough evaluation, Washington County leaders selected Orion
based on its high degree of configurability with an integrated set of
features and functionalities to support abundant future growth. Orion
incorporates intuitive, web-based tools to help users improve work
process efficiencies, provide greater data access and better manage
workflows.
The county will also benefit from Tyler's evergreen perpetual licensing
approach that provides regular and significant, yet manageable, software
enhancements without an additional relicensing or service fee, ensuring
the county has continued access to evolving technology.
Located west of Portland, Washington County has more than 1,900
employees and approximately 570,000 residents, making it Oregon's second
most populated county.
