The new system, Megabyte Property Tax Systems of Rocklin, CA, is part of the County\u2019s transition away from an old, costly mainframe system to more current, cost-effective, server-based system for many of its internal processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMegabyte will provide a fully-integrated functionality the County has been missing among the Assessor, Auditor-Controller and Treasurer-Tax Collector, which all have a hand in the administration of property taxes,\u201d said County Assessor Karl Weiland. \u201cThis unified system will lead to much greater internal efficiencies and a significant savings to the County\u2019s bottom line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">Some of the improvements that come with Megabyte include:<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 The elimination of a costly, old mainframe system<br \/>\n\u2022 Streamlining property tax administration processes between departments<br \/>\n\u2022 Increasing the consistency among departments which reduces public confusion<br \/>\n\u2022 Improved efficiencies through electronic processing, documentation and reporting.<br \/>\n\u2022 Better integration with other County system upgrades including a new Recorder system, new planning and permitting system TRAKIT and the new financial system FENIX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The cost of the new system, including the software, hardware and staff costs is approximately $2.5 million. The Assessor\u2019s website will post updates and notices about future changes as the implementation proceeds, and the Auditor-Controller\u2019s and Treasurer-Tax Collector\u2019s websites will also contain prominently displayed notices about the change from the old system to Megabyte.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">Some of the specific changes include:<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 All parcels, accounts and other assessments will be assigned new parcel numbers<br \/>\n\u2022 Each event, including regular assessed values, will be identified by a unique \u201cassessment number\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Some online reports and information may have different formats and contain different information<br \/>\n\u2022 All information, assessment history, parcel number change history and all associated links to recorded documents will be preserved in a database specifically designed for that purpose \u201cOur current system was developed more than 30 years ago and has served the public well,\u201d said Weiland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThirty one other counties across California use the Megabyte system, most of them similar in size and demographics to El Dorado County. While the switch may take a little getting used to at first, we\u2019re confident the public will appreciate not only the savings, but its overall usefulness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carla Hass] (PLACERVILLE, CA) \u2013 The El Dorado County Assessor today announced it will implement a new on-line<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","darknews-slider-full":"","darknews-featured":"","darknews-medium":"","darknews-medium-square":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"News MoLo","author_link":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/News\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8046"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8046"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8047,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8046\/revisions\/8047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
