Comparable Properties

  • A new Simple MA Adjustment option has been added to the Adjustment Options section of the Comparable Property Configuration dialog box (Tools > Comparable Property > System Wide Configuration). When Simple MA Adjustment is selected, Move MA Adj Out of Segments and URAR MA Adj are automatically deselected. This configuration applies to residential properties only.

    Comparable Prop Config, SimpleMA, 2, 9030x RN

    PACS uses the following calculations to determine the MA adjustment:

    • PACS calculates the MA value of the Subject property using existing functionality.
    • PACS calculates the MA value of the comparables using existing functionality.
    • PACS then calculates the adjustment as follows:
    1. Subject MA minus Comp MA = MA Adjustment
      1. When the Subject value is higher than the comparable value, the MA Adjustment will be positive.
      2. When the Subject value is lower than the comparable value, the MA Adjustment will be negative.

        Example

        Subject MA value = 200,000; Comparable 1 value = 150,000; Comparable 2 value = 300,000; Comparable 3 = 225,000

        1. The MA Adjustment for Comp 1 is (200,000 – 150,000) = 50,000. The MA Adjustment for Comp 1 is + 50,000.

        2. The MA Adjustment for Comp 2 is (200,000 – 300,000) = -100,000. The MA Adjustment for Comp 1 is -100,000.

        3. The MA Adjustment for Comp 2 is (200,000 – 225,000) = -25,000. The MA Adjustment for Comp 1 is -25,000.

93587

To avoid confusion, options on the second screen of the Appraisal Notice Selection Process Wizard are now disabled when Include All Properties is selected on the first screen (Activities > Appraisal Notices > Appraisal Notice Maintenance, click Add).

Auto-Pay

14676

The Auto-Pay indicator did not display in the export to the print vendor (Activities > Levy > Tax Statements > Create Tax Statements). This has been corrected.

15518/
HS 89130

Field placement and formatting issues in the ACH file (Activities > Auto-Pay > Create ACH File and Payment Run) were corrected to accommodate bank specifications.

Bills

14082/
HS 84789

After creating a new fee type and amount in PACS.Admin, fee amounts were applied to the original base fee and the adjustments, doubling the amount of the fee. The fee creation process has been modified, correcting the issue.

15400/
HS 88832

Moving bills and fees did not update the fee statement as expected (open property, select Bills/Fees > Move Bills and Fees). The association between fees and bills was lost during the moving process. The sequence in which bills and fees are moved has been reversed, correcting the issue. Now, fees are moved first, followed by bills.

16192/
HS 91691

The Modified Bills Report did not include bills that had an associated rollback with a matching accepting or voiding supplement group (Reports > Bills > Modify Bills Report > select Supp Group). This has been corrected.

16265

To maintain consistency with the Tax Due panel of the Property view, the following changes have been made to the Levy Bills grid in the Modify Bill Wizard dialog box:

  • Payment Type now displays as Status
  • Base Amt Due now displays as Base Due
  • The Base Amt column of now displays as Orig Base

Furthermore, because fees associated with bills were not being handled as expected, the values displayed in the Modify Bill Wizard dialog box Levy Bills grid were inconsistent with those in the Tax Due panel of the Property view (from the Property view, select Bills/Fees > Modify Bills). The calculations in the Modify Bill Wizard have been modified, correcting the issue.

16457/
HS 92264

The Statements grid in the Modify Bill Wizard dialog box demonstrated unexpected behavior when attempting to select statements (open property, select Bill/Fees > Modify Bills). This issue has been corrected.

Billing Export

14885

When All is selected in the Year field of the Export Billing Information Export Dialog box, and the Include Paid option is selected, the export file includes all paid and unpaid bills for the current year only. All prior years include unpaid bills only (Export > Billing Information).

16433/
HS 90634

Because the electronic billing information export process only included bills and fees that are associated with bills, some late filing rendition penalty fees were unexpectedly omitted (Export > Billing Information). The export now includes fees associated with properties, such as late filing rendition penalty fees, correcting this issue. Fees associated with litigations and REET continue to be excluded from the export.

Change Log

15051/
HS 86960

Logged changes to most fields did not include user data in the change log. User ID is now included in the log. Alerts for these codes have been reinstated.

16138

The billing export displayed incorrect amounts because bills and fees in which the first half amount had been paid, leaving zero amount due for the second, were not handled correctly. After this issue was resolved, a second attempt to export billing information generated an export with missing data. The issue was identified as insufficient space in the database. However, no error messages displayed. Now, when the billing information export encounters insufficient database storage space, an error message is generated and sent to the user’s Inbox.

16429/
HS 88365

The Change Log Report was not being populated as expected. In addition, the arrows that move Available fields to log column to the Selected fields to log column in the Transaction Selection dialog box did not function as expected (Reports > Change Log Report > Change Log, click the ellipses button in the Transaction Selection field). These issues have been corrected.

Codefile Maintenance

15924/
HS 90637

Alerts did not display as expected even though applicable Bill/Fee Codes were applied with the Alert User option enabled. This issue has been corrected.

Comparable Sales

15615

The Class Adj column in comparables grids now displays the sub class description in addition to the class description. These descriptions now appear together in a parenthetical note next to the class and sub class codes.

DOR Values

15647

When a property is recalculated, PACS checks for changes to the property sub type.

  • If the real property sub type has the state assessed utility attribute, any existing land details or improvements (with associated improvement details) are removed, and all values for these fields sets to 0.
  • If the personal property sub type has the state assessed utility attribute, any existing personal property segments (with associated sub segments) are removed from the property, and all values for these fields sets to 0.
  • If the property sub type does not have the attribute, any value in the property_val.dor_value field sets to 0.

If the property has changed from a sub type without the state assessed utility attribute to one with the attribute, a warning displays, indicating that changing the property sub type results in one of the following sequences, based on whether the property is a real type or personal type:

  • On clicking OK, thereby confirming the change of sub type, PACS performs the following actions:
    • The property_val.dor_value field is editable.
    • For real type properties, PACS removes all land details, improvements, and improvement details from the property.
    • For personal type properties, PACS removes all personal property segments (with the associated personal property segments) from the property.
  • On clicking Cancel, thereby canceling the change of subtype, the property sub type and all relevant values are not changed.

If the property has changed from a sub type with the State Assess Utility attribute to one without the attribute, a warning displays indicating that changing the property sub type results in one of the following sequences, based on whether the property is a real type or personal type:

  • On clicking OK, thereby confirming the change in sub type, PACS performs the following actions:
    • The property_val.dor_value field is uneditable.
    • The property_val.dor_value field sets to zero.
    • The Land and Improvement panels for real properties, and personal property panel for personal properties, are enabled.
  • On clicking Cancel, thereby canceling the change in sub type, the property sub type and values are not changed.

Effective Acres

15967

The Effective Acres Group button has been removed from the Land Segments section of the New Property Wizard (File > New > Property).

Escrow

16392/
HS 92184

The date displayed in the Posting Date field in the Apply Escrow to Property dialog box can now be changed to a date prior to the current posting date (open a property, expand the Escrow/Overpayment Credits panel, click Apply in the Escrow grid toolstrip).

16744

Attempting to apply escrow prompted an unhelpful error (expand the Escrow/Overpayment Credits panel of a property record, click Add in the Escrow section). In this case, the specified escrow amount was less than the tax due amount, making this transaction a partial payment requiring the PARTIAL bill fee code. Since the appropriate code was not selected, the transaction failed, prompting the error.

The error message has been modified to inform the user that partial or underpayments are not allowed.

17291

When mass applying escrow, an overpayment credit is now applied to properties with no payable items (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Escrow) > Mass Apply Escrow).

Event Management

15959/
HS 90819

15147/
HS 87515

A state code is now required when creating a new property in the New Property Wizard (File > New > Property).

15473/
HS 87693

After opening a property record in a different year by double-clicking the year in the History Years for Property dialog box, then closing that year, attempting to close the original property record resulted in the property record reopening because the child History for Years dialog box remained open (from property record, click Commands > Open Another Year for Property). A warning about the child dialog is now displayed in this situation, correcting the issue.

15639/
HS 85680

Due to errant mapping, the Mortgages & Permits panel option did not display in the list of views when viewing a property. The issue has been corrected.

15743/
HS 90030

My PACS shortcuts did not function as expected because various reports automatically generated errant links. This issue has been corrected.

15804, 15805

It is now possible to create a new property from the Property Search Results display by selecting a property in the results, right-clicking and selecting Create New Property. The Activities > Create New Property user right applies. Additionally, the results must include more than one property.

  • Stmt Count has been moved two spaces to the left of the Created By column in the Supplement Statements Runs grid (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Statement Maintenance).

16006/
HS 91026

A property search involving the property ID generated an unexpected error. A part of the search query accounting for supplement number has been modified, correcting the issue.

16072

The Description field in the Improvement Detail dialog box now allows up to 100 characters (expand the property Improvements panel, click Detail in Improvement Details grid).

16094/
HS 89189

Upon generating corrected tax statements, the Property Results dialog box displayed an unexpected Change Date for properties that had an address change with no change of ownership date (Activities > Generate Corrected Tax Statement(s), click Add). Results now display the mailing address last change date when no change of ownership date is available.

16125/
HS 91369

After clicking the Other Adj button and entering a value in the Improvement Detail Adjustments dialog box, the adjustment did not display in the Improvement Detail dialog box after clicking Recalculate because the dialog box did not refresh, displaying the new value.

16137/
HS 91480

16409

16488/
HS 92204

This taxpayer is classified as a Confidential Owner was activated and, thus, repeatedly selected unintentionally when viewing or working in a taxpayer record. The confidential option is now activated only when the cursor is positioned directly over the selection check box.

HS 92585

A spelling error in the Assessment/Taxroll Reconciliation Report dialog has been corrected (Reports > Levy > Assessment/Taxroll Reconciliation).

16708/
HS 93214

Land

16312/
HS 91973

Upon selecting a Front Foot appraisal method in the Appraisal Method field and Special in the Table field of the Market Valuation panel of the Land Detail dialog box, the Unit Price field was not editable. This has been corrected.

If a MCL or MCSL bill has been manually created in advance, a new levy bill for that same tax district/special assessment bill year is not created during annual, routine bill creation through levy certification.

16350

When working in the Highest Lawful Levy Limit Detail dialog box, the Voted Levy field of the Highest Lawful Levy Calculation Elements section displayed the same value as the Statutory Limit field in the Levy Information Summary section (Activities > Levy > Levy Certification, open a run, expand the Highest Lawful Levy Limit panel and click Details in the grid). The levy limit value is now the product of the taxable value multiplied by the voted levy rate divided by 1000 (when the lid lift is 1/1000).
