The comparable sales search result was displaying the actual year built in the Eff Year Built column instead of the effective year built. This has been corrected.

Appraisal Notices

A check box for the notice of protest has been added to the appraisal notice event window.

60777

A check box for House Bill 3630 text has been added to the appraisal notice event window. In addition, the fields on the event window now pre-populate with options selected at the time of printing.

61061

When exporting homestead applications from the appraisal notice print screen, the application for a property would sometimes be repeated and the applications did not have the same export sequence as the notices. This has been corrected for the export itself, although there could continue to be print and preview sorting issues.

61221

Multi-property notices were not printing/exporting the owner copy of the notice when the property did not have an agent and Agent Copy Only option was selected. This has been corrected.

GIS

The GIS Viewer has been changed so that if a user doesn’t have the View Confidential Sales user right, then *CONF* is displayed for the following attributes

  • Sale Dt

  • Sale Type
  • SP/SFT
  • Ratio

When using comparable sales features however, users will be able to view sales attributes irrespective of their user rights.
