Description of Update

22074/
HS 115160

The Auto-Pay pre note file export generated an unexpected error (Export > ACH Pre-Note File Export). The error happened because the system could not handle blank spaces in the account number. The system is now prepared for blank spaces, and this issue has been resolved.

22072/
HS 115111

Supplement reason text did not display as expected on tax statements even though the Tax Statement Message code file with the Supplement Reason attribute was selected (Tools > Code File Maintenance > General > Tax Statement Messages; Activities > Supplement > Supplement Statement Maintenance, click Add). The code dictating which and when messages are displayed was compromised. This issue has now been corrected.

The hierarchy of messages to be displayed (when applicable) is:

• If the tax statement message code file with the Supplement Reason attribute is used, then the supplement reason is displayed; if not, then
• If Statement Configuration has a message (Tools > Statement Configuration), then it is displayed; if not, then
• If the statement run is coded for delinquent notices, and a delinquent notice comment is saved (Activities > Delinquent Notices > Delinquent Notice Maintenance), then it is displayed; if not, then
• Display the following default message: “If your mortgage company pays your taxes, this statement is for information purposes only. Delinquent payments received without correct interest and penalty will be returned. Postal service cancellation mark of the due date or prior is the only proof of timely payment.”

22075/
HS 115107

The perforation lines on the multi-coupon tax statement did not line up with the perforations on the paper (Activities > Levy > Tax Statements > Create Tax Statements, click Print Statements). The formatting has been adjusted to resolve this issue.

HS 115103

Legal descriptions changed unexpectedly because Auto Build Legal was set to true during project development work. This issue has been resolved.

ID

Description of Update

21950*

Deferral application numbers are now editable for users with the new Property > Edit Property > Edit Real Property > Deferral Application Number user right assigned to their user ID. The number entered by the user may be a previously used number, even if it is not associated with the current property. It must also be less than the next unique ID to be assigned from the database.

21974*

The Tax Area, Exemptions & Special Assessments panel Deferrals section Date of Death column now remains editable after creating deferral records.

22035

When attempting to print an owner letter for a property with multiple deferral records, the letter for the wrong year sometimes printed. For example Property X has Deferral Application ID 06-0009 for tax year 2011 and 06-0006 for tax year 2012; user selects to print Deferral Application ID 06-0006 for tax year 2012, but the printed version displays values for 06-0009 from tax year 2011 (from Property view, expand the Tax Area, Exemptions, and Special Assessments panel select a deferral record in the Deferrals grid (should be a property having multiple deferrals), click Print Documents). The system’s deferral record selection method has been modified to correct the issue.

21473*

In the Set County ID dialog box, the County ID field only accepted three-digit codes, automatically adding digits to codes with fewer than three digits (in PACS.ADMIN, choose Tools > Property > Set County ID). This field now accommodates the DOR-required format of two digits, dash, four digits, i.e., xx-zzzz (Tools > Property > Set County ID). The first two digits are the county ID and the last four make the unique ID.

21483/
HS 112962

Preventative checks have been added in multiple places to protect against a recalculation of supplement 0.

21508*

When setting up Event Type Codes, a user could not choose a value (U for user or S for System) from the Generated By attribute drop-down list (Tools > Code File Maintenance > General > Events). This issue has been resolved.

21623*

The Generate Bankruptcy Claim Form dialog box was unusable when opened because it was so small and un-resizable (from Property view, Commands > Generate Bankruptcy Claim Form). The sizing issue has been resolved.

21694/
HS 113591

Generating a property’s tax statement from various year layers resulted in different values being displayed for the same year (Commands > Create New Tax Statement). This happened when an account had a credit adjustment that had not been applied–the statement showed the correct negative due balance when generated from the year layer in which the adjustment resided but not when generated from other years. In different years, only bills were selected that showed a current amount due greater than the amount paid. Now, all bills are selected, including bills with a negative balance, correcting the issue.

21460/
HS 112741

An incorrect market and adjusted value were displayed for a Land Detail valued using a Lot method schedule (from the property view, expand the Land panel, select a Land segment and click Details, expand the Market Valuation panel in the Land Detail dialog box). A decimal was not recognized in the system, leading to incorrect calculations and displays of value. This issue was corrected in 9.0.34.2000, but the fix had to be reworked in this release because of ticket and resolution 21982*.

21982*, 21558*

A property’s displayed value increased dramatically after two scenarios: (1) supplementing it and adding a deferral (expand the Tax Area, Exemptions & Special Assessments panel, and click Add in the Deferrals grid), and (2) splitting or merging it (Activities > Split Property). The issue actually stemmed from a recalculation issue concerning the Special land appraisal method and ticket resolution 21460/HS 112741, which resulted in the property calculation multiplying the Land Detail unit price by 100. The fix for that issue has been reworked to prevent unexpected value inflations.

21474/
HS 112482

An unexpected error displayed after (Activities > Posting > Quick Post: Single Payment, from ID Type field, choose REET ID). An error in the SQL query has been corrected, resolving the issue.

21642*

The user was told that credit was not available when attempting to apply escrow from funds posted through property-level and mass REET transactions. This was because pay status for escrows created through REET were not handled correctly. This issue has been resolved. Note that, in the Property view Escrow/Overpayment Credits panel Escrow(s) grid, Pay Full is disabled for applied escrows, and the Apply option is disabled for escrows that have only the first half paid.

21744/
HS 113719

On the REET Collections Daily Recap Report, values representing the amounts collected on a given day were inconsistent between reports run per day and reports run for the month (Reports > Daily > Daily Summary). To resolve the issue, values for each day in the report period are calculated separately, with daily values summed together at the end.

21379*

Users can now print Rendition Applications for multiple Master Lease accounts by performing a Master Lease search, selecting multiple search results, right-clicking and choosing Print Rendition Listing.

21382*

The Asset Listing table on the Rendition Application included rows that displayed each Type category’s summed estimate market value; these “summary” rows were not labeled as such (Commands > Print Personal Property Rendition Application). The rows have been removed.

21385*

When selected, the Do Not Print Listing – Next Year and Do Not Print Listing – Ever options in the Property view Rendition panel do not prevent the user from printing a rendition through the property’s Commands menu.

A property with the Do Not Print Listing – Next Year option selected does not have its listing printed when the corresponding Do Not Print Listing Next Year option is selected in the Print Property Rendition Applications dialog box used for printing applications for multiple properties (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications.). Similarly, a property with the Do Not Print Listing – Ever option selected does not have its listing printed when the corresponding Do Not Print Listing Ever option is selected in the Print Property Rendition Applications dialog box used for printing applications for multiple properties.

These Do Not Print options in the Print Property Rendition Applications dialog box are now selected by default.

21392*

On the Rendition Application, Segment IDs were displayed in the Asset ID column (from Personal Property view, choose Commands > Print Personal Property Rendition Application). The expected data is now displayed, correcting the issue.

21417*

The Verify # of Properties button in the Print Property Rendition Applications dialog box did not work as expected (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications). This functionality has been restored.

21464*

A message displayed saying that no properties were selected when attempting to generate Rendition Penalty Letters using the Rendition Status Code option (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Rendition Penalty Letters). Status code search and selection has been modified, resolving this issue.

21515*

An unexpected error displayed after trying to delete an unused DOR Depreciation Schedule Code File (in PACS.ADMIN, choose Tools > Code File Maintenance > Personal Property > DOR Depreciation Schedule). This issue has been resolved.

21528*

After opening a property in supplement, the Penalty % for filing rendition late could not be saved after changing (from Property view, expand Rendition panel, click Penalty button, then choose Impose Late Filing option and enter the Penalty %, click OK and look for change in the property’s Values panel). Some rendition data was not being copied correctly during the supplement process. This issue has been resolved.

21561*

Depending on whether the State was being listed as the insurance policy’s loss payee on deferral applications, the Amount Eligible to be deferred against was not calculated correctly (from Property view, choose Tax Area, Exemptions & Special Assessments panel, click Add in the Deferrals grid and navigate through the Wizard). The Amount Eligible is now calculated using the following business rules:

• If the state is listed as the loss payee, then the Amount Eligible is:

  80% of Market Value – (Previously Deferred value + value of Liens and Obligations)

  The available value to defer against for an applicant for the limited income deferral is 40% of the aggregate of land and improvement market value. The available value to defer against for an applicant for the senior/disabled deferral is 80% of the aggregate of land and improvement market value.

• If the state is not listed as loss payee, then Amount Eligible is:

  100% of Market Value – (Previously Deferred value + value of Liens and Obligations)

  If the state is not listed as a loss payee, the then limited income deferral applicant can defer against 100% of the land market value only. If the state is not listed as a loss payee, then the senior/disabled deferral applicant can defer against 100% of the land market value only.

21565*

On the Deferral Application Wizard Denial Page, the Other text field has been enlarged so that more lines of text can be readily viewed (from Property view, choose Tax Area, Exemptions & Special Assessments panel, click Add in the Deferrals grid and navigate through the Wizard).

21566*

A Preview option has been added to the Deferral Print Dialog box (click Print Documents in the Deferrals grid toolbar).

17304/
HS 94652

The Certificate of Delinquency’s Metes and Bounds text was not limited as expected, resulting in the annual delinquent tax breakdown being pushed to another page. The number of lines in the Metes and Bounds is now capped at 10. This should suffice and still allow for the Linked Property Taxes List and Lien Holder Page sub-reports to display when needed (from Property view, Commands > Generate Certificate of Delinquency).

18210*

Some values were inaccurate on the Fiscal Tax Collections Report (Reports > Monthly > Fiscal Tax Collections Report). The report’s calculation has been modified to resolve this issue.

21437/
HS 112441

When generated by the treasurer’s office (a user in the Treasurer role-type), the Property Group Code Report displayed the assessor’s office address (Reports > Property Group Code). This issue has been corrected.

21525/
HS 108606

The tax statement’s second half coupon printed on a second page (Activities > Levy > Tax Statements > Create Tax Statements). An error in the statement’s report file has been corrected, resolving this issue.

21672

On tax statements, display, font, and alignment issues were corrected along with the following: (1) the Auto-pay message did not print when expected; (2) blank pages sometimes printed between tax statements; (3) the Exemption Amount was not the expected value; (4) the Remit To address was incorrect. These changes come on the heels of 21353/HS 111957, which was fixed in 9.0.34.2000.

Note In System Configuration, if the Remittance Address fields are blank, then the System Address fields need to be filled out (Tools > System Configuration > System > Remittance Address).

21936/
HS 114537

In some instances, duplicate levies were listed on the corrected multiple coupon property tax statements (only affected menu path: Commands > Create New Tax Statement). Duplicate and needless data sometimes displayed because, when generating corrected statements, the system would repopulate tables without checking in advance. The procedure for generation now checks ahead for existing data, resolving the issue.

21937

The Exemption Amount line no longer displays on the tax statement Tax Distribution box (from Property view, Commands > Create New Tax Statement); previously this line displayed the tax amount exempted value.

22031

If the physical address exceeded five lines, tax statement text pushed and bled into subsequent sections of the statement, compromising the display. Also, the statement’s Levy Rate line was not aligned (Activities > Levy > Tax Statements > Create Tax Statements). These issues have been resolved; the Physical Address block can grow up to two lines for the situs display and two lines for the legal description.

22047/
HS 113834

The fix for issue 20284/HS 107321 corrected the query that identifies and supplies properties that need to receive corrected tax statements by substituting an AND for an OR (Activities > Generate Corrected Tax Statement(s)). However, as a result, inappropriate properties were selected. So now this issue will be reworked in a future release.

ID

Description of Update

20673/
HS 109041

Appraisal Cards took approximately a minute, sometimes longer, to print (from Property view, choose Commands > Print Appraisal Card). The application’s logon to Crystal Reports has been modified, increasing performance. During internal testing, appraisal cards now displayed within 16 seconds.

20717/
HS 109431

No more than 18 Improvement Details displayed on Field Review Cards and Appraisal Cards (from Property view, choose Commands > Print Appraisal Card). The Improvement Detail section of the card now displays all Details. Typically, all Details beyond the first 18 Details display on their own page, pushing other report sections onto subsequent pages.

18328/
HS 98537

References to “Ownership” have been replaced with the word “Account” throughout the Auto-Pay Cancellation due to Ownership Changes dialog boxes and other areas of Auto-Pay functionality (Activities > Auto-Pay > Manage Ownership Changes (now Manage Account Changes)). As evidenced by this change, agent changes are now recorded in the Auto-Pay module. Also, removing or transferring an owner or agent who is enrolled in Auto-Pay causes a warning message to display that draws attention to the continued enrollment.

18284/
HS 98189

The closing total for a cash drawer did not include amounts entered for non-US checks. Now, non-US checks are included; furthermore, these checks are treated like regular checks in the Post Payment dialogs (Activities > Posting).

20166/
HS 106610

The Building Permit Import did not associate permits with properties as expected. Furthermore, subsequent imports intended to update previously imported permit records created null permits when the original permit had already been transferred to another property (Import > Building Permits; open property and expand the Mortgage & Permits panel, highlight record in Building Permits grid and click Transfer). The import functionality was not implemented correctly the first time. These issues have been corrected.

19194/
HS 98753

After an agent is deleted, the change log now records the previous agent and displays the agent name and ID in the event record.

21073

As a result of a fix to an issue discovered in beta testing the 9.0.34.2000 release, some code files in which attributes and/or values could remain blank now require values.

16625

A Description field has been added to the Payment Distribution Dialog box (from Tax Due panel, post overpayment credit Payment Code to open the Payment Distribution Dialog box). This description can be used to define the reason for the refund and displays on the refund receipt and the refund check for overpayment credit refunds.

20904

Unexpected errors occurred when posting escrow payment through the Mass Apply Escrow Wizard (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Escrow) > Mass Apply Escrow). The culprits were paid escrows with more than one associated transaction, especially those with voided payments or re-entered payments that had been previously voided. The query has been modified to disallow error-causing duplicates.

20345/
HS 107470

The Assessed Value did not carry over to the appraisal notice event detail Event – Appraisal Notice panel on a Personal Property record (view an appraisal notice print event and expand the Event – Appraisal Notice panel). This issue has been resolved.

20577/
HS 108615

Event grid customizations did not save as expected. Hard-coded settings were removed when this issue was previously addressed. Now, the grid has been coded to display all columns and a scrollbar has been added. Users should note that a message that grid customizations have been corrupted may display when first viewing the grid, but normal function should resume after that.

*This issue was originally fixed in 9.0.33.2200. This also relates to ticket 20937/HS 110679 in this release.

20842

When adding the remodel exemption, failure to process some formatting characters caused incorrect calculations to display in the Remodel Information Detail Dialog box (from Property view, expand Values panel and click Remodels, add an exemption, enter values and click Apply). The extra characters are now removed prior to calculating, resolving the issue.

21427/
HS 112510

An attempt to export appraisal information caused an unexpected error (Export > Appraisal Export, select Include Land & Improvement). The system did not handle SIC Codes and some Improvement data. These two issues have been resolved.

20884

An unexpected error occurred on clicking the Set Taxpayer button in the Ownership History section of the Deeds & Sales panel in the Property view. Although this error could not be reproduced, the suspect transaction in the code has been moved and is now nested in a stored procedure. This prevents conflicts that arise when one job server starts this transaction while another tries to finish it.

20918/
HS 109349

When a property’s market value was less than its frozen value, the values displayed in the Frozen section of the Property view Summary panel reflected the senior taxable value rather than the actual frozen value for the property. The values are now pulled from the correct fields (in PACS, the stored frozen value displays in the Loss Breakdown dialog, reachable by clicking the Senior Exemption Loss button in the Values panel).

20937/
HS 110679

Expand Comments and Print Grid buttons were unexpectedly disabled when viewing the Events panel of a Property in a certified year. This issue, which is related to issue 20577/HS 110679 in this release, has been corrected.

20956/
HS 110741

Incorrect or unexpected agent information displayed in the Property view fixed panel and Summary in the Treasurer role. Now, only collections agents are displayed when viewing the property in the Treasurer role. In addition, displayed agent info is updated when an agent is added, deleted, or inactivated.

21018

An unexpected error occurred on recalculating after adding a personal property sub segment (expand Personal Property panel and open Segment detail, then expand Sub Segments panel and click Add). The data reader’s refresh has been modified, correcting the issue.

21135/
HS 110248

Generating quick, repeated displays of the list of properties in a supplement group resulted in exception errors. The errors were caused by redundancies among temporary data tables in the database (the tables were created when the list was generated (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Group > Right Click > List Properties in Supplement Group)). Naming conventions have been slightly modified to avoid such redundancies as much as possible.

20917/
HS 110576

When creating a new improvement, the # of Stories field had no default value but was a required field. To be functional within schedules, a decimal value, i.e., 1.0, is required. The default value is now 1.0 (from Property view, expand Improvements panel and click Add in the Improvements grid; the # of Stories field is located in the General Characteristics section of New Improvement dialog box). This fix is related to one in 9.0.33.2500–20847/HS 110132.

21460/
HS 112741

An incorrect market and adjusted value were displayed for a Land Detail valued using a Lot method schedule (from the property view, expand the Land panel, select a Land segment and click Details, expand the Market Valuation panel in the Land Detail dialog box). A decimal was not recognized in the system, leading to incorrect calculations and displays of value. This issue has been corrected.

20932/
HS 110220

Unexpected errors occurred when loading the Marshall & Swift commercial dataset for the third quarter of 2011. The issue resulted when the server requested valuation dates set in the future (2012). This issue resolved itself as of 01/01/2012. However, to allow users access to M&S, a change was made that prevented the server from sending future dates.

This was made available as a standalone fix in build 9.0.33.2700.

21010/
HS 110655

Unexpected errors occurred when attempting to change a property’s valuation method to Marshall & Swift. Errors also occurred when creating a new Improvement Detail on a property using Marshall & Swift. These errors occurred when a Marshall & Swift estimate was not available/present. Now, when estimates for the property are missing, the Marshall & Swift option is disabled as a valuation method and as an option accessible from the Improvements panel.

20269/
HS 107200

Batch info did not save after it was used during a mass update (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Property) > Mass Maintenance > Mass Update, highlight a mass update record and click Details). This information is now saved and displayed as expected.

20825

When mass updating a field to an invalid value, i.e., a value that the system truncates due to length or numeric precision, the update sometimes failed without generating an error message or warning (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Property) > Mass Maintenance > Mass Update, choose a Table in which a long string of characters). Although one SQL action failed, the error was obscured by subsequent successful queries. Erroneous code has been removed, resolving the issue.

21289/
HS 103714

Data entered in some fields exceeded the allowed length in those fields, causing errors when attempting to create multiple new properties (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Property) > Mass Create). The varchar character limits of multiple fields have been extended. Counts are as follows:

Running Mass Update Bill/Fee Codes did not result in the expected updates or changes to data (Activities > Mass Maintenance (Bills) > Update Bill/Fee Codes on Bills, choose code and year to update, then finish navigating dialog). Crucial, required code enabling full functioning of this feature has been completed, resolving the issue. Furthermore, selecting multiple codes is now possible and formatting in the dialogs has been improved.

Note that on the second page of this wizard, prior year supplement numbers are displayed rather than current year supplement numbers.

19971/
HS 105856

The function of variance fields in the System Wide Variance dialog box in PACS.ADMIN were not true to their labeling; values entered in the Over Pay field ended up functioning as the underpayment variance in the system and vice versa (Tools > Set System Wide Variance). Incorrect mapping between fields and the database has been corrected.

20561/
HS 108149

Payment receipts displayed the current owner even when payments had been made by a previous owner. A recent fix (20526) allows the post payment process to record the owner at the time of payment. Using the code added with this fix, payment receipts now can and do display the actual paying owner (in property’s Payment History panel, highlight the payment ID and click Print Property Receipt).

20632/
HS 108790

The Main Image designation assigned to Images added in the Penpad device was lost after the properties were checked back in. The system was not prepared to receive the required image marker in the code. This issue has been resolved.

20894

Some property images were not included when checking out to a Penpad. This issue has been resolved.

16479/
HS 90708

The following five new user rights enable users to manage specific property types’ group codes:

• Property > Edit Property > Property Group Codes >
  • Edit Auto Property Group Codes
  • Edit Mineral
  • Edit Mobile Home Group Codes
  • Edit Personal Property Group Codes
  • Edit Real Property Group Codes

19730/
HS 104587

Mobile Home has been added as an option in the Property Type drop-down list used when creating/editing Property Sub Type codes (in PACS.ADMIN, choose Tools > Code File Maintenance > Property > Property Sub Type).

20276

In the Value Breakdown portion of the Property Link Summary dialog box, Improvement Value included M&E Value (expand Splits, Merges & Property Links panel in Property view, then click Summary in the Property Links grid). Improvement Value now excludes M&E Value.

20824

Clicking Recalculate from a Personal Property Segment or Subsegment dialog now recalculates the whole property, mimicking functionality for Improvements and Land Details.

20617/
HS 108699

A property search by GEO ID using the “Begins With” option returned too many properties. The functionality has been modified to more closely resemble the File As search, resolving the issue. Note that (1) the Exact Match option overrides any other selection, (2) the “Contains” option is appropriate when the entered number sequence may be anywhere within the ID, and (3) the “Sounds Like” option is for display only.

20709

The printed refund receipt did not display the expected details under the Refunds Paid section (from Property view, expand Payment History panel, in the Refund Detail dialog box, highlight the refund to be printed in the Refund(s) section, click Reprint Receipt). When generating the receipt, the system looked to the Property record for data, but not the Taxpayer and transaction records. When the expected data is not initially available, the system now checks other relevant places for data.

20919/
HS 109816

The generated refund amount did not always match the amount displayed in the Refund Cart (open Property Tax Due panel, highlight a paid statement and click Refund). This specific issue could not be reproduced by development. Nevertheless, the Refund Cart now displays the current posting date in the title bar; furthermore, when generating a refund, changing the system posting date prompts the system to recalculate interest values displayed in the Refund Cart in cases in which a refund type code is selected and the interest amount is not overridden.

20982/
HS 103291

Rendition records appeared to generate randomly and without user participation. This issue could not be reproduced. However, development discovered that the random rendition records were all associated with relatively new property records, and concluded that a piece of code that executes when a property is created was the likely cause. This code was removed in an effort to prevent this from occurring again.

21181/
111242, 21193/
HS 111389

A user could not print blank Rendition applications (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications, choose Blank Application and enter the # of Copies; this happened to another user who also selected some Include options and Additional criteria). In some situations, the basic query executed to attain a property count prior to printing returned a number that was reset to 0, which was the case here. The code has been modified to handle these situations, thereby resolving the issue.

21182/
HS 111263

An unexpected SQL error message was sent to the user’s inbox after trying to generate personal property rendition applications (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications). This error was caused by redundant code for printing the blank application. The redundancy has been fixed, correcting the issue.

21200/
HS 111486

After entering comma-separated property IDs in the Print Property Rendition Applications dialog box, an unexpected error occurred after clicking Preview (Activities > Rendition Processing > Print Personal Property Rendition Applications, choose the Property IDs option). This issue has been corrected.

21276

The Date Filed field in the Rendition Penalty Dialog box did not retain the selected date after closing the property (from Personal Property view Rendition panel, click Add in the Renditions grid and enter all required info, including the Date, and click OK to close the dialog; then click Penalty in the Supporting Documentation/Imposition Letter section of the Renditions panel and verify the Date Filed value in the Rendition Penalty Dialog box, then close the dialog; close and reopen the property and return to the Rendition Penalty Dialog box and verify that the Date Filed field is no longer populated). The Date Filed value is now recovered when reopening the dialog.

11076

The generated version of the Address Change Report now includes the report criteria (Reports > Owner > Address Change Report).

11077

The generated version of the Ownership Transfer Report now includes the report criteria and page numbers (Reports > Owner > Ownership Transfer Report).

18234/
HS 98206

Values in the Frequency column at the bottom of the DOR Invalid Sales Report reflected the number of property IDs with the code rather than the number of REETs (Reports > DOR > DOR Sales, choose the Invalid Sales Report option). This report now displays the number of distinct combinations of excise numbers and invalid sales codes.

20207

The Event Type code chooser from Miscellaneous Events Report Dialog box opened with all event types in the selected column at right (Reports > Events > Miscellaneous Events Report). This issue, reported during Beta testing 9.0.33.x, has been corrected.

20621

The Undeliverable Mail Report is now an option for users in the both the Treasurer role and Assessor role. Access the report by choosing Reports > Undeliverable Mail Report.

20504/
HS 107908, 20648/
HS 108815

The DFL Composite Property Tax Rate Report included values other than DFL values (Reports > DOR > DFL Composite Tax Rate). The query has been corrected. The total DFL value is divided by the total tax value.

20644

The text in the DOR Sales Check Report dialog now accurately conveys the report’s purpose–to display sales records with ratios outside DOR standards, which means ratios less than 25% or greater than 175%.

20943/
HS 110719

The property counting method in the Valid Sales Report was not consistent, and the Invalid Sales Report did not count multiple property sales (Reports > DOR > DOR Sales). These issues have been resolved, so that the correct number of properties are gathered and displayed as expected.

20963/
HS 110853

The Sales Ratio Report did not display the expected sales data in all sections of the report (Reports > Sales Ratio Report). The issue, which stemmed from the inclusion of zero value sales, has been resolved.

After completing a rollback, thereby putting the property in a supplement group, the Verify button on the Supplement History panel of the Property view was disabled. The button was disabled because the system was not directed to check if the property with a rollback was supplemented, too. Now, if the property has a pending rollback and has been supplemented, the Verify option is enabled.

When navigating the Supplement Property Wizard, the disabled Create New Supplement Group option was selected by default when the user did not have the Activities > Create New Supplement Group user right and no open or available supplement groups were available (Commands > Supplement > Move to Supplement). After the user did not select Pending option, PACS 9.0 created a new supplement group. Now, the Pending option is selected by default, and the Create New Supplement Group option remains unavailable to those without the required user right.

A user could not accept or remove a supplement group that contained no properties (Activities > Supplement > Supplement Group Maintenance).

When a property’s land was flat valued but the property’s valuation method was Cost with an associated comparable grid for market approach valuations, a recalculation error message displayed that could not be closed. The error message, “Cost land value is >= market approach grid. Market approach distribution cannot be performed”, did not disappear even after changing the valuation method to Market Approach. When appropriate, the following error messages display when the land calculation method is Market Approach: “Cost land value is >= market approach grid value. Market approach distribution cannot be performed.”; “Cost land value is zero. Market approach distribution cannot be performed.”; “Cost improvement value is zero. Market approach distribution cannot be performed.”
