REET

  • 15548

Reports – Treasurer

  • 15687/ HS 89724

    The Delinquent Tax Roll has been renamed the Outstanding Balances Report, accessible through Reports > Outstanding Balances Report. Previously, the Delinquent Tax Roll did not group all of an owner’s properties under the owner, even when the Sort By drop-down menu was set to Owner Name. The new report groups by property and sorts by owner so that individual property details are displayed.

Description of Update

Asset Manager

13218/ HS 82326

An error occurred after the valuation method was changed for a segment displayed from the Asset Listing dialog box (accessed by clicking Asset Management in the Personal Property panel). This occurred because the depreciation schedule associated with the segment was set up with a value greater than 100.

This has been corrected so that an error no longer occurs when the value is greater than 100 for a depreciation schedule. The maximum value allowed is now 500.

Bill Adjustments

16178/ HS 91005

An unexpected error occurred while attempting to finish a levy bill modification (Bills/Fees > Modify Bills, navigate the Modify Bill Wizard, enter data and click Finish). The bill updating error has been corrected.

Comparable Sales

16143/ HS 85147

Selecting Features Value Adjustment in the Comparable Property Configuration dialog box did not save upon closing the dialog (Comparable Property > System Wide Configuration). This has been corrected.

Export

15789

The Export REET Recorded Information process failed because REET records were already erroneously marked as exported (Export > Export REET Recorded Information). The issue has been corrected. In addition, selected directories are tested for write permission prior to beginning the export process.

General

15192

The Payout Agreement panel now displays for all property types, including mobile home and personal property types in the Treasurer role.

16205/ HS 91779

An unexpected error occurred on attempting to open the Bankruptcy Claim Form (from a property record, click Commands > Generate Bankruptcy Claim Form). This has been corrected.

16030/ HS 91077

Spelling has been corrected in the Output Settings section of the Payment Print Receipt Dialog (Payment History panel, click Details in Payment grid, click Reprint Receipt).

16095/ HS 91208

An unexpected error occurred while attempting to create a sale in the Ownership History grid (from a property record, expand the Deeds & Sales panel, click Add in Ownership History section, click Create Sales in the Ownership History dialog box, select Override in the General section and enter value in the Excise # field). This has been corrected.

16377/ HS 92104

An unexpected error occurred after entering a value in the Review Date field of the New Property Wizard dialog box (File > New > Property). Additionally, attempts to create a new agent failed, as did attempts to select a primary use code in the New Property Wizard dialog box. These errors occurred when the system attempted to load non-existent data from other fields and grids. Checks have been added to ensure the system responds as expected to null values, correcting the issue.

16381/ HS 92083

The following is now true of property searches as they pertain to the Default Property Search Year (Settings > User Settings):

  • If the Year check box is selected when searching for a property:
    • If the property exists in the selected year, the property is returned for that year layer.
    • If the property does not exist in the selected year, no results are returned.
  • If the Year check box is not selected when searching for a property:
    • If the property exists in the default year, the property is returned for that year layer.
    • If the property does not exist in the default year, the property is returned for the most recent, earlier year layer.
    • If the default year precedes a property’s first year on record, no results are returned. However, if a property only exists in years prior to the default search year, records for all earlier years are returned.

Income Method

16022/ HS 90445

Income values from previous years were unexpectedly editable when viewed from the current year property view (from a property record, expand the Values panel and click Income Value, select a certified year). This has been corrected.

Letter Processing

15689/ HS 89889

When generating the buyer sales verification letter, letter tags did not summon the most recent information when populating the letter’s fields (from property record, select Commands > Print Property Letter, then choose buyer letter). The expected data is now summoned and ordered as expected. In this case, the most recent change of owner information is displayed.

Marshall & Swift

16004/ HS 91032

An error occurred when accepting a supplement (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Group Maintenance > select supplement and click Accept). A validation check for Effective Age data in Marshall & Swift details was added, along with a measure to prevent improvement depreciation year data from being greater than the effective year in a Marshall & Swift record.

16302/ HS 92003

Upon attempting to close the Marshall & Swift dialog, a warning displayed prompting the user to first close any remaining child dialogs (from a property record, expand the Improvements panel and click Marshall & Swift). While this issue could not be reproduced, a change has been made that may account for and correct this issue.

16369/ HS 91443

Because of date issues within the Marshall & Swift engine, an unexpected recalculation error occurred when working with Marshall & Swift (from a property record, expand the Improvements panel and click M&S in the Improvement Details grid). PACS now uses the first day of the provided month to resolve the issue. In addition, to prevent further errors, the report date is now used in recalculations when addition base dates are later than the report date.

Mass Maintenance

16074/ HS 87114

Mass Update did not consistently produce expected results (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Property) > Mass Maintenance > Mass Update). An additional parameter has been added, correcting the update issue.

Notice Processing

14574/ HS 85736

The Change of Value Notice has been modified as follows:

  • The situs, including city, now displays on one line.
  • The return address displays.
  • The BOE phone number has been added.
  • The appeal petition filing deadline displayed has been changed from 60 days to 30 days.

14868/ HS 87066

Delinquent Notices did not display prior year delinquencies as expected (Activities > Delinquent Notice > Print Delinquent Notice). The query has been modified to capture prior years in addition to the current year.

Payment Processing

14036

When an additional property was entered in the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment), the cursor moved to the field in the Amount Paid grid that was last used before Post was clicked. This has been corrected so that the cursor returns to the Tender Type cell.

15274

The Total Paid, Balance Due, and Change Due now display in the Miscellaneous Receipt – Post Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Misc . Receipts Post Payment).

15275

Validation disallowing $0 values in the Amount Tendered column has been added to the Quick Post: Single Payment and Miscellaneous Receipt – Post Payment dialog boxes.

15654/ HS 89657

After selecting Partial in the Payment Code field, tabbing from the Amount Tendered field to the Reference Number field caused the Payment Code field to reset to Full (from the Property view, select a statement in the Tax Due panel). This has been corrected.

15930/ HS 90656

When working in the Quick Post: Single Payment Dialog box, after posting a payment, the cursor now moves automatically into the ID field (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment).

16048/ HS 91116

Because a property had been supplemented, the Certification of Delinquency report displayed two lines of taxes due (Reports > Collections > Certificate of Delinquency). This has been corrected.

16263/ HS 91911

In the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box, posting a first half or second half payment within the variance automatically populated the Payment Code field despite configuration settings (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment). This configuration setting now functions as expected.

Penpad

16245/ HS 91603

Because characters entered in description fields conflicted with the data copying process character encoding system, an unexpected error occurred when checking out a property to Penpad via GIS (select a property in GIS, right click and select Check Out to Penpad). Encoding has been reconciled, correcting the issue.

Property Access

15368

Taxable values in PACS did not match those displayed in Property Access because the appropriate supplemental information was not shared between systems. This has been corrected.

REET

15954/ HS 90834

REET records sometimes shared excise numbers. Excise numbers are no longer duplicated, and REETs now display as individual line intems in the payment cart.

15957/ HS 90758

When verifying a property on a new REET record, the Year drop-down menus in the Calculate Escrow Due section of the REET Property Verification dialog box now display years as expected: 2010 – 2011, for example (File > New > REET).

15962/ HS 90857

When a REET import fails, the displayed message has been corrected for grammar mistakes (Activities > REET > Electronic REET Processing, select Import File).

15964/ HS 90860

A dialog box in the REET import process has been renamed from Mass Create Properties to Import REET File (Activities > REET > Electronic REET Processing, select Import File).

15969/ HS 90605

The detail version of the REET Collections Recap Report did not display results as expected because data was not being summed correctly (Reports > Daily > REET Collections Recap). The issue has been corrected.

15971/ HS 90808

The Excise Calculation Detail dialog box header displayed the system Tax Area ID instead of the Tax Area Number (from a REET record, expand the Sale Information & Excise Due panel, click Details in the Excise Due grid). This has been corrected.

15985/ HS 90760

The REET import did not populate the Legal description as expected (Activities > REET > Electronic REET Processing, select Import File, verify property). This has been corrected.

16023/ HS 91062

After GEO ID was selected as the mapping key during a REET scan, the Geo ID was not recognized (Activities > REET > Electronic REET Processing, select Geo ID as mapping key). Property records are now matched when GEO ID is selected.

16056/ HS 90756

An unexpected error occurred after importing a REET, then adding and modifying data before calculating the excise due (Import > Import REET Recorded Information). A measure has been added to allow for new data without creating a conflict with the initially imported data held in the database.

16113/ HS 81182

Penalty and interest calculations have been modified to use the appropriate percentage based on the year of the month of accrual for the penalty or interest.

16127/ HS 91427

Delinquent penalty and interest amounts were unexpectedly displayed on Daily Summary Reports of users who had not processed the fees (Reports > Daily > Daily Summary). A user filter has been added, correcting the issue.

16370/ HS 92117

The Validate Slip button now displays in the top menu bar of the REET view.

Reports: Treasurer

15280/ HS 86873

The Statement of Taxes Collected Report was not including the expected affidavits (Reports > Monthly > Statement of Taxes Collected). The query for the selection now selects based on payment transaction dates only, correcting the issue.

16089/ HS 91267

The Certificate of Delinquency Report displayed properties that did not match the search criteria because the Due Date filter was not functioning correctly in the Certificate of Delinquency Report Dialog box (Reports > Collections > Certificate of Delinquency). This has been corrected.

16203/ HS 91786

An unexpected error occurred upon summoning the Revenue Merge Report (Reports > Distribution > Revenue Merge Report). A missing file has been replaced, correcting the issue.

16401/ HS 92086

Because tax district descriptions were featured in report formatting, data did not display as expected in the Receivable Summary Report (Reports > Monthly > Receivable Summary Report). The report now displays data using both tax district code and description to provide maximum information, correcting the issue.

16408

The Outstanding Balances Report displayed fees not yet due (Reports > Outstanding Balances Report). This has been corrected.

Split/Merge

16014/ HS 91038

Modifying the income valuation of a child property created by the split process resulted in changes to the parent property’s income valuation. Attempts to split a property that uses income valuation now prompts the user to determine whether income valuation should be copied to the child property. If the user chooses to copy the income valuation, then the child property is assigned a new ID, and changes to the income valuation do not affect the child or parent property.

16280/ HS 84652

Properties using income value for valuation method can not be processed with the Split/Merge Wizard. Attempting to process income value properties now prompts the warning, “The following Properties use the Income Appraisal method for the specified years and cannot be merged”.

Supplement Processing

16291/ HS 91989

An unexpected error occurred upon attempting to preview the Supplement Roll Report (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Group Maintenance, select ID, right click and select Print Roll, click Preview). The server connection name has been changed, correcting the issue.

Tax Statements

15444/ HS 88934

The taxpayer Tax Summary displayed fees associated with the property, but not fees associated with bills (from Taxpayer view, open the Tax Summary panel). Fees associated with bills are now included.

15736/ HS 90081

In the Create New Tax Statement dialog box, a Print Template option displayed unexpectedly in place of a Generate Event option. The Generate Event option has been returned and the Print Template option removed.

Year Layer

16524

When moving the system to a new collection year, the default property search year for users of the Treasurer role type now also advances to the new year (Activities > Administration > Treasurer Rollover > Move System to New Collection Year). If a user of the Treasurer role type sets the default property search year to a year other than the default, that setting does not change when moving the system to a new collection year (Settings > User Settings).

Description of Update

PACS Appraisal

Auto-Pay

14328

14895/
HS 87151

The Auth. Name field in the Property Enrollment grid of the Auto-Pay Quick Entry dialog box now allows 50 characters (Activities > Auto-Pay > Auto-Pay Quick Entry). In addition, the Pmt. Cd.

  • Properties that have had an ownership change but have not yet been processed in Auto-Pay will not be included when an ACH file is generated (Activities > Auto-Pay > Create ACH File and Payment Run).

Because ACH pre-note file export calculations included values pertaining to property records excluded from the export file, the hash totals in the pre-note file were incorrect. Calculations have been corrected, and now only include values pertaining to records within the export file.

15537/
HS 89131

15637, 15643/
HS 89626

In PACS.ADMIN, a new land characteristic code could not be saved because PACS tried to insert a blank value when Push Down to Land Characteristics was not selected (Tools > Code File Maintenance > Property > Characteristic Code, click Add). This has been corrected.

15708/
HS 89507

Events were not being created in property records after manually matching properties, and then updating the Auditor Import Match Dialog box (Activities > Auditor Import Run List, select run and click Match, conduct search and click Update). Properties are now given the correct status for processing, correcting the issue.

Payment Processing

14035

A View All button has been added to the property grid in the Quick Post: Single Payment Dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment).

15142/
HS 88033

After a property was supplemented in the previous year, the new taxes displayed as half amounts for the 2008-2009 year. The unexpected result occurred when delinquent supplement bills were activated. This has been corrected.

Non-payout, delinquent bills (current posting date is after 10/31/bill year) are now processed as follows:

  • If no payments have been made, the bill is now a full pay bill.
  • If the bill is being made a half pay bill, and an amount has already been paid that is more than zero and less than half of the new amount due, the H1 payment is set equal to the amount paid, and the H2 payment is for the balance.

15257/
HS 88541

Because an unnecessary query was being run, the Quick Post: Single Payment Dialog box responded slowly (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment). This has been corrected.

15538/
HS 89178

The Paid By information did not display on duplicate receipts when printed to 8.5×11″ paper (go to property Payment History panel, select payment and click Print Property Receipt, select Duplicate copy). This has been corrected.

15928/
HS 90651

After posting in the Quick Post: Single Payment Dialog box, the Detail Receipt printed when Summary Receipt was selected (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment). This has been corrected.

15951

The Summary Receipt now groups by Property ID and sorts by year (post payment on multiple properties with taxes due for multiple years, select Summary Receipt in the Post Payment dialog).

Payout Agreement History

14297/
HS 85327

The Payout Agreement Payment Schedule and History displayed a single payment multiple times because receipt numbers were not treated as distinct numbers (Commands > Payout Agreement Schedule). This has been corrected.

Property Records

14461

Collection owner changes made in the Owner & Agent panel of property records were not being tracked and logged. This has been corrected.

15504/
HS 88676

An unexpected error occurred upon clicking Finished in the last screen of the Ownership Transfer Wizard, and no event was generated (Activities > Ownership Transfer). This has been corrected.

15222/
HS 88414

An SQL exception occurred when editing an event description in the Events panel of a property record. This has been corrected.

REET

14295/
HS 85179

The Administrative Fee percentage on the Statement of Taxes Collected REET report displayed incorrectly because local interest was included in state interest calculations (Reports > Monthly > Statement of Taxes Collected). The percentage value calculation has been corrected.

15903/
HS 90599

Because non-numeric characters, such as hyphens, were not being removed from zip codes upon deletion, an unexpected error occurred when attempting to replace an existing REET property through the Property REET Search Wizard (open REET record, click Delete, then Add in the Property Information section Properties grid). This has been corrected.

15926/
HS 90643

The DOR use code did not populate when importing REET records (Activities > REET > Electronic REET Processing, select Import File). DOR use codes now populate on import and are required.

15993/
HS 90982

Non-current REET rates caused state and local excise tax amounts to vary from DOR amounts. Now only current rates are included in the REET export file.

15177/

An unexpected error occurred when attempting to print personal property rendition applications (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications). This has been corrected.

14862/

Column headers did not display on every printed page of the Modified Bill Report (Reports > Bills > Modified Bill Report). This has been corrected.

15652/
HS 88408

Fee Refunds are now included in the Fee Collections Activity Report (Reports > Daily > Fee Collections Activity Report).

15773/
HS 90134

Tender type totals did not display when selecting Group by Tender Type in the Daily Check Register Report Dialog box (Reports > Daily > Check Daily Register > select Group By Tender Type). This has been corrected.

Split/Merge

15897/
HS 90298

Attempting to finish a previously pending split/merge failed. During intermediate merges, the cancel process now runs only for unprocessed certified years with no supplement conflicts. Furthermore, during the cancel process, in the case of a dependent merge or split where the property was created from the parent split/merge, properties are checked and only delete if the backup layer exists. This corrects the issue.

Supplement Processing

15794

The billing information export (Export > Billing Information) displayed incorrect supplement numbers on bills and fees as a result of unexpected behavior from the following processes performed in supplement:

  • Modify Bill/Fee Wizard
  • Set Bill/Fee Code
  • Set Half Pay/Full Pay Status

These processes no longer modify supplement numbers.

Tax Statements

15178/
HS 88214

An unexpected error occurred when attempting to display statement run details (Activities > Generate Corrected Tax Statement > Details). Data now pulls from the correct location, correcting the issue.

15452/
HS 88942

The message Auto-Pay Confirmed – No Payment Due now displays when applicable on corrected tax statement payment coupon (Activities > Create New Tax Statements).

15736/
HS 90081

In the Create New Tax Statement dialog box, a Print Template option displayed unexpectedly in place of a Generate Event option. The Generate Event option has been returned and the Print Template option removed.

15851/
HS 83676

When printing delinquent notices sorted by zip code, statements now secondarily sort by the Mail To name (Activities > Delinquent Notice > Print Delinquent Notice).

Description of Update

PACS Appraisal

Accounting

14090

Because penalty distribution needs to be different per rate, REET Penalty Event Mapping has been moved from REET Global Event Mapping to REET Standard Event Mapping so that penalty distribution can be split by UGA indicator and distribution, like REET interest.

This modification has been implemented to support taxing districts that keep a portion of the penalty and do not distribute it all to the state like the rest of the counties.

14536

An error was displayed when Add was selected in the Chart of Accounts dialog box (Activities > Accounting > Chart of Accounts). This has been corrected.

Appraisal Cards

13497

Legal Acreage is now displayed on Field Review Cards (Activities > Appraisal Cards).

13659

Field Review Cards did not sort correctly when the Sort Options were set to Ascending and the Owner Name was moved to the top of the list (Activities > Appraisal Cards > Print by Property List, choose type Field Review Cards). This has been corrected.

Auditor Documents

14398

In the Auditor Import Match dialog box (Activities > Auditor Import Run List), quotation marks were displayed around the grantor and grantee.

This has been corrected so that quotation marks are now removed from the taxpayer name, owner name, and seller name in the import.

Auto-Pay

14131

When a bank name was changed for a property selected from the Auto-Pay panel in a taxpayer record, the change was not saved. This has been corrected.

14132

14350

When All Auto-Pay Enrollments was selected in the Auto-Pay Pre-Note Export dialog box (Export > ACH Pre-Note Export), an error was displayed. This has been corrected.

14284

When a fee code was set up in PACS.ADMIN (Tools > Code File Maintenance > General > Bill/Fee Code) with Penalty selected and a percentage entered, and the code was then applied to a fee with taxes due, the penalty calculated to zero. This occurred because the interest begin date was earlier than the effective due date. This has been corrected so that the system ignores null begin dates.

14285

After a bill or fee code was set (Bills/Fees > Set Bill/Fee Code) from a property record, a blank selection was not available to remove the code. The drop-down list now includes a blank selection to remove the code.

Escrow

14086

An error occurred when escrow was applied in the Escrow/Overpayment Credits panel of a property record because a batch was not selected. This has been corrected.

14089

Previously, in the Escrow/Overpayment Credits panel, the Tax Year and Escrow Type could be modified after an escrow payment was made. Now, the Tax Year, Escrow Type, and Escrow Amount can be edited only when escrow is in a created state, not a paid or applied state. In addition, Escrow Type is now disabled for years that do not have escrow types defined.

Exports

14081

In the mortgage billing export file (Export > Billing Information), “M” (indicating modified) was not being shown for modified properties where applicable. Instead, the segment type “K” (indicating certified) was shown on all properties. This has been corrected so that the segment type is based on the supplement number associated with the property, year and statement.

In addition, amounts due of $50 or less were managed with the Full Amount Due and Full Amount Due Dates fields, but were not reflected in the 1st Installment Due and 1st Installment Due Dates fields. This has been corrected so that the 1st Installment Due and 1st Installment Due Date fields are populated when a bill is to be paid in full.

General

12936/
HS 81313

Some permits worksheets could not be edited or reopened. This has been resolved.

13226

Some grantor and grantee information and the all of the Deeds & Sales panel were being hidden. Fields have been resized to better accommodate display.

14221/

14463

15817

An unexpected error occurred during a property search by previous owner. This has been corrected.

15039/
HS 87167

A non-functioning Details button was removed from the Auditor Import Run Match Dialog box (Activities > Auditor Import Run List > select ID, right click Match > Details). A new View Images button has been added.

15207

When a new improvement and improvement detail were added, the year built and effective year built defaulted to the current year layer. This has been corrected so that an improvement can be added without either year entry. When an improvement detail is entered, a year entry is still required.

Income

14225/
HS 85184

When a property was supplemented and the income value was changed by entering a new flat value in the Summary panel of the Income Details dialog box, the resulting income value was incorrect. When the property was opened for supplement zero, the modified income approach was being displayed instead of the income approach associated with supplement zero. This has been corrected.

14226

A supplement value was being displayed in the Summary panel instead of the original value. This has been corrected so that only one row is displayed for a given year and income combination.

Inquiry

14629/
HS 86291

Levy values could be updated after the Levy Certification run (Activities > Levy > Levy Certification, select Update Values in Levy Certification Run toolstrip) upon re-sorting the Levy Certification Run List. This has been corrected.

14580/
HS 85720

Because fire district levy info was being suppressed, some levies were being erroneously excluded from the Levy Rate Summary Report (Reports > Levy > Levy Rate Summary). This has been corrected.

Miscellaneous Receipt

13922

When working in the Quick Post: Single Payment Dialog and selecting a property with multiple taxpayers (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment, select applicable property ID), the Paid By menu now lists the first account holder by default. The other taxpayers are accessible through the drop-down list.

14837

When a property record had no miscellaneous receipt fees, errors occurred when removing bills from half pay status (in a property record, open the Tax Due panel, select a bill, click Bills/Fees > Remove Half Pay Status). This has been corrected.

Monitors

14149

An error occurred when a query was run in monitor. This has been corrected so that an alert occurs if the query entered has duplicate columns.

Notice Processing

13296/
HS 82626

When a notice from a completed print run was printed from the Events panel of a property, the text “Amended Notice” was printed in the header. This has been corrected so that the text “Amended Notice” is no longer included when a notice is printed from the Events panel.

14029

Previously, in the Amount Paid grid in the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment), it was not possible to exit the grid without using the mouse. It is now possible to exit the grid by:

  • Pressing ENTER key at any point
  • Using the down arrow if the user is on the last row in the grid
  • Using the right arrow if the user is on the last row in the last column.

In addition, when a new row is created by tabbing, the height of the grid expands so the user can see the added row.

14036

When an additional property was entered in the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment), the cursor moved to the field in the Amount Paid grid that was last used before Post was clicked. This has been corrected so that the cursor returns to the Tender Type cell.

14114

Opening the New Fee dialog box from the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment) did not add a row to the grid. This has been corrected.

14126

When posting a check payment in the Quick Post: Single Payment dialog box (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment), the transaction was processed without a reference number. This occurred only when a receipt printer was configured and being used. This has been corrected.

14296/
HS 85235

14334/
HS 85425

The refund receipt (from property view, open the Payment History panel, select a refund from the Refund(s) grid and click Reprint Receipt from the Refund Detail dialog box) displayed the same payment twice instead of the first half payment and second half payment. This has been corrected.

14462

When two excise fees were paid on a REET transaction, the total displayed the correct amount, but the amount of the fee was doubled for each line item. This has been corrected.

14490/
HS 85454

The Paid By name in the Payment(s) grid in the Payment History panel was different from what printed on the receipt. This has been corrected.

14691

PropertyACCESS

13397/
HS 13397

When the highest value non-main area improvement detail was equaled by the highest value main area improvement detail on a property, PropertyACCESS displayed the non-main area detail because it had the higher detail ID. PropertyACCESS now displays main area improvement details only.

13461/
HS 83043

A fix has been added to prevent images in PropertyACCESS from opening at sizes too large to fit on screen. Images now open at a size appropriate for the user’s screen resolution.

14208/
HS 85131

A timeout error occurred when printing maps from PropertyAccess with the aerial layer selected. The HTTP connection with the server has been changed to TCP, correcting the issue.

14545

Because sessions were not expiring, too many simultaneous connections caused the PropertyACCESS Web site to crash unexpectedly. Sessions now time out automatically, correcting the issue.

14765

14770/
HS 86546

HS 83301

After removing half pay status from a property record and changing the payment due date, the due date displayed in the Audit Trail panel remained unchanged. This has been corrected.

14173

When configuration was set up to auto-populate the seller from the owner of the selected property when creating a REET record (File > REET > New), the zip code was populated with the primary 5 digit code, followed by a hyphen and the additional 4 characters, which caused an error. To correct this, the hyphen has been removed.

14231

When entering a new REET record, the Use Code was not displayed for properties entered in the Property Data section of the REET New dialog box (File > REET > New).

In addition, when Verify was selected in the Property Data section to display the REET Property Verification dialog box, the Type and Tax Area were not displayed. These issues have been corrected.

14231

When entering new REET record and using the action Calculate Excise and Pay with Full Taxes or Calculate and Pay Excise Only, the excise number was not being generated automatically. The user had to click Generate Excise Number.

In addition, for workstation validation, PACS validated the excise before the excise number was generated, which cause -1 to be displayed as the excise number.

These issues have been corrected. There is a True/False configuration setting (Auto Generate Excise # on Payment) in PACS.ADMIN (Tools > System Configuration > System category > Payments) that can be used.

14295

14473

REET receipts printed without any data (open REET Sale Info & Excise Due panel > Payment History > Reprint Receipt). This has been corrected.

14542

Excise that was collected was not displayed on the receipt printed from the slip printer. This has been corrected.

14650, 14665, 14774

Options have been added in PACS.ADMIN (Tools > Configure Workstation) to allow the user to configure the workstation to set the left and top margins for slip validation.

14710, 14713

14237

When the Exception Total Amount Due was greater than the Amount Paid in the Imported Remittance Payments Report (Import > Import Payment Run, choose View Imports, right click and select Print > Print Payments Report, select Print Only Exception Payments), the total difference amount did not display the negative value.

An error occurred when generating a Payment in Lieu of Taxes Calculation Report (Reports > Levy > Payment in Lieu of Taxes Report). This has been corrected.

15809

14310

When an existing sale is opened from a property record on the Deeds & Sales panel and Import Sales was selected from the Ownership History dialog box to import improvements and land details from the current property, no data was imported.

This occurred because the year of the change of owner was used instead of the current appraisal year. This has been corrected.

14253

An error was displayed after opening an agent record from agent search results. This has been corrected.
