NCACC Collaborative Property Tax System
What is the NCACC Collaborative Property Tax System (NCPTS)?
NCPTS is a fully integrated tax software system that automates, streamlines and integrates tax administration functions such as real estate, personal property, vehicle tax, billing, collections, land records and appraisal. The software system has been developed to adhere to North Carolina property tax law.
Why should my county consider NCPTS?
NCPTS is being offered to counties without a licensing fee through the NCACC. According to Henderson County Tax Assessor Stan Duncan, “NCPTS offers us the opportunity to move ahead, both in terms of technology platform and software functionality. ... All too often various software programs were more of a constraint instead of a tool. The collaborative approach of NCPTS validates the various and good ideas and brings them to the forefront by consensus.”
What other counties are utilizing NCPTS?
Both Wake and Henderson counties are running the newest module - Land Records and CAMA - along with the Billing and Collections modules. Pitt County is implementing the complete suite of NCPTS modules, including Billing and Collections and Land Records and CAMA, and is on schedule to be in production by May 2006. Wayne, Catawba and Harnett counties are utilizing the Billing and Collections modules, and Mecklenburg County is scheduled to realize implementation by November.
How did the NCACC get involved?
Wake County originally contracted with IIS, a North Carolina-based software services provider and NCACC Associate Member, to develop the system. The county and IIS subsequently transferred ownership of NCPTS to the NCACC in 2003 so that all interested counties could take advantage of the system software without having to pay a licensing fee. IIS provides ongoing NCPTS implementation and support services.
