Riverside County, California Chooses Manatron Tax Software: Portage-based Manatron Inc., a developer of property tax and land administration software, announced that Riverside County, California has licensed Manatron's Government Revenue Management software. Subject to a series of implementation milestones, the GRM software will ultimately provide a single, integrated property tax system for Riverside County's three property tax departments. This contract marks the third GRM initiative in California. Projects in Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara counties are currently under way. Riverside County is one of the largest jurisdictions in the country. The county has more than 920,000 property parcels, making it comparable to California's Orange and San Diego counties. After several years researching multiple vendors, Riverside County chose Manatron in a competitive procurement seeking a fully integrated property tax system offering. This software system will incorporate the county offices of assessor-county clerk-recorder, treasurer-tax collector, and auditor-controller. Riverside County also chose the Manatron system because it had appraisal tools (mass appraisal, mass decline in value, comparable sales, etc.) specifically to address the needs of California assessors. As development stages complete, Manatron's GRM product will ultimately replace Riverside County's legacy property tax system. That system was created nearly 40 years ago prior to Proposition 13, Proposition 8 and many other legislative reforms. Riverside County has adjusted its legacy software over these four decades to maintain compliance with California Revenue and Taxation Code and to meet the County's operational requirements.
