Tax Assessors

Would you like to use the perfect software for plat checking?

As a tax assessor, accurate and efficient verification of property boundaries is crucial for fair and equitable assessments. TPC Desktop™ offers a suite of powerful plan checking tools designed specifically to streamline your workflow and enhance the accuracy of your plat reviews. Once you experience the capabilities of TPC Desktop™, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without its intuitive and robust features.

Dealing with paper plats can be a time-consuming process. With TPC Desktop™, you can easily input the recorded calls – bearings, distances, radii, and other relevant data – directly into our user-friendly Traverse View. As you enter this information, TPC Desktop™ intelligently redraws the plat on your screen, allowing for immediate visual confirmation and identification of potential discrepancies. This eliminates the tedious manual redrawing process and significantly reduces the chances of transcription errors.

For jurisdictions that utilize CAD plats, TPC Desktop™ offers an equally efficient solution. Simply select the line labels directly from the CAD drawing, and TPC Desktop™ will automatically parse this information, converting it into text and populating the Traverse View. This seamless integration saves valuable time and ensures accurate data transfer, eliminating the need for manual data entry from digital files. We even provide a step-by-step learning guide to walk you through this process, making it easy to learn and implement.

TPC Desktop™ goes beyond simply redrawing plats. It provides powerful tools to easily check critical aspects of property boundaries. You can quickly verify lot closures to ensure mathematical accuracy, calculate precise areas for assessment purposes, and confirm compliance with zoning regulations by checking setbacks. This comprehensive verification process helps to identify errors early in the review process, preventing potential disputes and ensuring fair assessments.

Furthermore, TPC Desktop™ simplifies the review of public access and utility infrastructure. You can effortlessly check the accuracy of right-of-ways and easements, ensuring they are correctly depicted and accounted for in the property records. The fundamental design of TPC Desktop™ ensures data integrity: there can only be one line defined between any two points. This inherent constraint eliminates the possibility of overlapping or ambiguous boundary lines, providing a solid foundation for accurate assessments.

Generating clear and concise reports is essential for tax assessment documentation. TPC Desktop™ allows you to easily create subdivision and lot reports, providing a summary of key boundary information. Additionally, the software can automatically generate phrase-driven legal descriptions for each lot, ensuring consistency and accuracy in property records. This feature saves significant time and reduces the potential for errors associated with manual legal description creation.

By implementing TPC Desktop™ into your workflow, you can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your plat checking process. The intuitive tools, seamless CAD integration, and robust verification capabilities empower tax assessors to perform their duties with greater confidence and precision. This leads to more equitable assessments, reduced administrative burdens, and ultimately, a more transparent and reliable property record system for your jurisdiction. Embrace the power of TPC Desktop™ and transform the way you review and verify property boundaries.
