WA Notice Processing

• Before beginning notice processing, ensure that you have a good back up
• Please ensure the following user rights are assigned in PACS.ADMIN as required:
  • Appraisal Notice Forms Maintenance
  • Appraisal Notice Process – Required for all activities in the Activities > Appraisal Notice menu, except for the Appraisal Notice Forms Maintenance activity.
  • Print Supplemental Appraisal Notices

• All PACS Mobile clients shall notify support before continuing with the process. Please note that client should NOT MOVE FORWARD with completing your process until this step is fully completed.

  At a minimum, the following must occur:

  • • Pending Changes Marked as Complete:  These must be QC ‘Approved’ OR, if the changes are not wanted in PACS, ‘Reject’ the accounts individually or in bulk.
    • CAUTION: Pending Changes 24 + Hrs:   These Must be ‘Marked as Complete’ and QC ‘Approved’, OR they may be set as ‘Reviewed’ in Bulk and then ‘Rejected’ if none of the changes are wanted in PACS.
    • CAUTION: Unsynced Changes (Approved):  If accounts are in this list, please notify Support in order to help sync these accounts to PACS.
    • Sync Failed = Yes:  If there are any results returned in this filter, please enter a ticket with the title ‘TRIM-Sync Failed account(s)’.

  Important: If there are any Sync Failed accounts, notify support. You ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT begin this procedure with sync failed properties.

• • • If you’ve been transferred to DCS Support to support the mobile application, please open a FreshDesk with Data Cloud Solutions.
    • If you have not been transferred to DCS Support to suppor the mobile application, please open a TeamSupport ticket with Harris Govern.

Inform Harris Govern Client Services that your office is starting notice processing. The staff will monitor progress to help you achieve successful results.

You must complete the following preliminary procedures prior to beginning notice processing activities.

To verify that the newest version of PACS is loaded on each workstation, click the PACS 9.0 application button and choose Help > About.

All QC Work should be completed in PACS Mobile to ensure all changes have been pushed to PACS.

Complete all pending splits and merges. If necessary, move the properties to an active supplement group prior to performing the next preliminary procedure, Verifying Supplement Acceptance. You can do this by choosing Activities > Pending Split/Merges.

If a split or merge is not complete, the current or prior year’s improvement details, land details, and associated values will not be correct. Also, notices will not accurately represent any properties created or deleted as a result of a split or merge.

For information about processing splits or merges, see Splits & Merges User Guide.

Verify that all supplements have been accepted (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Group Maintenance).

If you have a supplement that is not accepted, the prior year notice values will not be correct.

For information about supplement acceptance, see Accepting a Supplement Group.

Choose Activities > Mass Maintenance (Property) > Mass Recalculation to recalculate all properties. For more information, see Recalculating Values for Multiple Properties.

Resolve any recalculation errors before continuing. You can use the Recalculation Error report (Reports > Recalculation Errors Report) as a reference.

Note You may need to complete this step multiple times. Recalculating properties should be completed after making any value changes in your roll.

To verify data prior to creating the notices, we recommend using the reports listed below. You may find other reports useful as well.

Note If you make any corrections as a result of analyzing data on the reports, recalculate each property involved in a correction.

• The Property Value Comparison report (Reports > Property > Property Value Comparison by Year). Look for and investigate any major disparities in a property’s value from year to year.
• The Exception reports (Reports > Data Verification > Exception Reports). Look for assessed values that are outside the normal range of values for real properties, improvements, land, mobile homes, and personal properties.
• The Expiring Remodel Exemptions report (Reports > Expiring Remodel Exemptions). See if any properties that have had their new value deferred the last three years now need to be added to the roll.
• The Conversion Gain/Loss report (Reports > Conversion Gain/Loss) and the Standard Gain/Loss report (Reports> Standard Gain/Loss). Look for and verify any unusual gains or losses in a property’s value.
• The Land Acreage report (Reports > Data Verification > Land Acreage Verification). Account for properties on which the total acreage and legal acreage do not match. You can correct values in the Property view Legal Description tab or on the property’s Land Detail from the Land panel.
• The Recalculation Error report (Reports > Recalculation Errors Report). Open properties with errors, recalculate, then click the Error button in the fixed panel menu bar. This opens the Errors grid at the bottom of the Property view. Review any error details and make changes or add missing data to property elements as needed.

Purpose

This process determines which properties are eligible for the under $500 exemption and then applies the exemption to the properties. The process removes all under $500 exemptions on the properties, and then adds the exemption to the qualifying properties.

Information about qualifying properties and the PACS selection process is provided below.

Note If you need to add an under $500 exemption to an individual property record, see Adding Total or Under $500 Exemptions in the Exemptions user guide.

Qualifying Properties

• Properties that receive the under $500 exemption may not have other exemptions applied, except the personal property farm exemption. That is, the under $500 exemption may not be applied to properties with the following exemptions or use:
  • Personal properties that have a Head of Family (HOF) exemption
  • Real properties that have a multi-family exemption
  • Real properties that have an historic exemption
  • Real properties assessed under the current use assessment program
  • Real properties that have an exemption for senior citizen and disabled persons

PACS Selection Process

• The following properties are selected in the U500 process:
  • Real properties with no exemptions. The market value is used for selection on any properties with current use.
  • Partially exempt real properties, or personal property Special Farm exemption properties, linked to a property where:
    • The total combined market value for the linked properties is under $500.
    • The property has the U500 check box selected for its Property Link Sub Type in PACS.ADMIN (Tools > Code File Maintenance > Property).
  • Personal property with either no exemptions or with only the special farm exemption.
  • All other properties with an individual market value less than $500.

The selection process does not involve prior year processing. (If a user needs to change a certified account, the user must supplement the account and manually add or remove the exemption.)

Prerequisites

• In order to perform this procedure, the following user right is required:
  • Activities > Run U500 Process

Procedure

1. In PACS 9.0, choose Activities > U500 Process.

   A confirmation message is displayed.

   

2. Click Yes to start the U500 process.

Result

The exemptions of the properties will equal the properties’ total assessed value, resulting in the properties processed by the U500 process having a taxable value of zero to be reflected on the assessment roll. No change is made to the market value of the properties.

Purpose

Use this report to review an estimate of the total value of property prior to creating notices. You access this report from the Print Preliminary Totals dialog box, in which you enter criteria for the report, choose sorting, grouping and filtering options, perform recalculation prior to generating output, and set the type of output to generate.

Some offices might choose to print multiple versions of this report. For example, (a) print totals by tax district, (b) print totals by tax area, (c) print summary only.

Prerequisites

• In order to perform this procedure, the following user rights are required:

10. Click Preview to preview the report. Click Post to generate the report.

Purpose

This procedure is optional in carrying out notice processing.

After your office send out notices, some taxpayers will inquire about and protest their values. These protests could result in changes to their assessed values. Use this procedure only if you want to determine if appraisal values changed after notices were mailed, that is, whether value was gained or lost during the preliminary hearings and the BOE process to come.

The values captured with this procedure can then be used at a later time to produce totals.

Lock Properties Submitted to the BOE Option

If the Lock Properties Submitted to the BOE check box is selected (available in PACS.ADMIN under Tools > BOE Maintenance > Inquiry Settings) and you have the BOE > Submit Lock user right, then you can modify property values only if one of the following conditions applies:

• A protest has been created for the property.
• The value has not been submitted.

Prerequisites

Purpose

This procedure is optional in carrying out notice processing.

Use this procedure if you need to undo the captured values because values were captured incorrectly and need to be changed.

Undoing the values captures enables you to capture values again.

Prerequisites

• In order to perform this procedure, the following user right is required:
  • Activities > Appraisal Notice Process

Procedure

1. In PACS 9.0 choose Activities > Appraisal Notices > Capture BOE Submission Values > Undo Capture Values.
2. Depending on the option used to capture values, select one of the following:
   • Undo by Property Type, and then select the individual property types.
   • Undo by Query, and then click Count to validate the query and determine how many properties the query will select.
3. Click Undo Capture.

9. Click Preview to preview the report. Click Post to generate the report.

Purpose

This procedure is optional in carrying out notice processing.

Although your office may be generating notices for a large number of properties, values for some property types may not have been fully assessed yet. Therefore, their values would need to remain uncaptured. Use this procedure to generate a report of totals for any properties that do not have a BOE-captured value.

Note After your office send out notices, some taxpayers will inquire about and protest their values. These protests could result in changes to their assessed values. Therefore, you may want to capture values prior to sending out notices if you want to determine if appraisal values changed after notices were mailed, during the BOE appeals process to come.

You can use this report as a reference at a later time.

Prerequisites

• In order to perform this procedure, the following user right is required:
  • Appraisal Notice Process

Procedures

1. In PACS 9.0, choose Activities > Appraisal Notices > Capture BOE Submission Values > Print Non Captured BOE Values.
2. Select the tax area for which you want to review non-captured BOE values, and then select a sort option.
3. Click either Preview or Post.

Purpose

Use this procedure to enter or verify the office name and address information to be printed on the notices.

Procedure

1. In PACS.ADMIN, choose the Assessor role type.

   Important You must choose the Assessor role type to modify the assessor address. If you are logged in as the treasurer, the address will be incorrectly modified for the Treasurer’s office.

   

2. Choose Tools > System Configuration. Select the System category and expand the System Address node.

   

3. Either enter or verify the name and address for your office.

   Note In order for the name of your office to be printed on the notices, the name of your office must be entered in Address Line 1.

4. Click OK.

Purpose

Use this procedure to:

• Customize print settings, and customize and/or review the text that is printed with the notices. You can set up different configurations, each controlled by an expiration date, to support different value phases throughout the year.

  Configuration Set Up

  You can set up configurations in chronological order as needed. Each configuration that is set up must be assigned an expiration date that is later than the last notice run date.

  Configuration validation is year-specific so that you can, for example, set up configurations in 2010 while continuing to add configurations in 2009 as needed.

  Configuration Changes

  You can change the configuration until a notice run has been generated for the specified configuration. If a run exists using the configuration, the text for a specific configuration within the expiration date cannot be modified. If changes need to be made to the configuration, any run using the configuration must be deleted before the configuration is enabled for changes.

• Specify whether the geo ID, ref ID 1 or ref ID 2 prints on the notices
• Include or omit prior year values and/or the appraiser’s names on the notices

Prerequisites

• The following are set in System Configuration in PACS.ADMIN:
  • Use System Address (Tools > System Configuration > Personal Property Defaults) – If set to True, then the address set in System Configuration prints on the Notice of Value for all property types. If False, then the address entered in the appraisal notice configuration prints on the notice.
• In order to perform this procedure, the following user right is required:
  • Activities > Appraisal Notice Process

Procedure

1. In PACS 9.0, choose Activities > Appraisal Notices > Configuration Maintenance.
2. In the Appraisal Notice Configuration Maintenance List window, click Add.

In the Appraisal Notice Configuration Maintenance dialog box, enter the notice Year, choose either Real or Personal from the Type drop-down list, and set the date on which the configuration settings expire in the Expiration drop-down list. (The expiration date must be later than the last notice run date.)
4. Set the Print Property ID option as required.

   Determines how the property ID prints on the appraisal notice: Print with Geo ID, Ref ID1 or Ref ID 2.

   Caution  When modifying text as described in the next steps, keep in mind that we recommend printing a small notice run as a test to review the display of the text in the boxes on the notice form.

5. If you selected personal or master lease type properties, proceed to the next numbered step. Otherwise, if you selected real properties, do the following:
   1. Complete the following options as required:
      • Print Prior Year Values

        Prints the values on the notice in the Previous Values column. If this check box is not selected, no values will be displayed in the Previous Values column.

      • Print Appraiser

        Prints the appraiser ID next to the neighborhood code in the reference number.

   2. If you need to revise or update text describing tax relief information, do the following:
   1. In the footer and/or the block sections, revise or update the text as needed.
   2. After the text is complete, select the Reviewed check box for the section.

      Note To use the tax relief text for a notice run, all of the Reviewed check boxes must be selected, which automatically selects the All Reviewed check box. For example:

      

6. If you selected personal or master lease type properties, do the following:

   

   1. To generate a list of segments for a property along with the notice, select Include Personal Property Asset Listing as part of Appraisal Notice.
   2. If needed, use the No File text field to customize the text addressing Personal property owners who did not file rendition notices.
   3. If needed, use the Penalty text field to customize the penalty notification.
   4. If Use System Address is set to False in PACS.ADMIN, enter or verify the Assessor Address Information text.
7. Click OK or Apply.

Purpose

Use this procedure to:

• Choose the selection criteria for the notice selection process.
• Create a new notice run.

Recommendation Before printing a full notice run, we recommend that you select a small set of notices and print them in order to verify the format and the display of text and data printed on the notices.

Prerequisites

• In order to perform this procedure, the following user right is required:
  • Activities > Appraisal Notice Process
• Notice print options have been completed.
• Any property for which prior year values should not be printed on the notice has the Do Not Print Prior Year Value on Appraisal Notice check box selected on the Property Codes panel.

  In addition, if the Do Not Print Prior Year Value on Appraisal Notice check box should not be cleared during the new year layer process, the Do Not Reset During New Year Layer Process check box must be selected. If this is the case, the new year layer process will clear the Do Not Reset During New Year Layer Process check box, but will leave the Do Not Print Prior Year Value on Appraisal Notice check box selected. If necessary, after the new year layer process is complete, you can select the Do Not Reset During New Year Layer check box again so that the Do Not Print Prior Year Value on Appraisal Notice option remains applied for the following year.

  

Procedure

1. In PACS 9.0, choose Activities > Appraisal Notices > Appraisal Notice Maintenance.
2. In the Appraisal Notices window, click Add.
3. If you would like to review the configured print options, click View Configuration Information.
4. In the Appraisal Notice Selection Process Wizard, complete the following options as required for each property type:

   

   Note Because personal and mineral properties require a notice that is different than the notice used for real and mobile home properties, when you select personal properties and/or mineral properties, PACS automatically sets the Exclude All Properties for the real and mobile home sections. Likewise, when you select real and/or mobile home properties, PACS automatically sets the Exclude All Properties option for the personal property section. Selecting Master Lease properties also excludes the others.
