Capture is a web-based system that harnesses AI and integrates with mapping, deeds, permits and more. As one comprehensive database, it manages multiple record years, handles deed processing, generates tax rolls and facilitates supplements, escapes and petitions. Assessment, collection, GIS and public-facing tools work together as a true “soup to nuts” solution for property tax administration.

Dashboards and field tools that keep pace.

Capture’s dashboards let elected officials and supervisors predict workloads and productivity and estimate response and completion times.

The mobile module, Capture iPad, helps field appraisers complete maintenance, sketching and photographs on site, with or without an internet connection. There is no duplication of effort or data entry.

Enhancing productivity, minimizing errors

Mapping.

Capture integrates with deed recording systems to pull relevant deeds into your office daily. AI-infused CAMA resolves parcel numbers, and resolved parcels are routed automatically for name change and sales verification.

Capture CAMA is integrated with Arc Desktop solutions, ArcGIS Online and Arc for iOS, providing a bidirectional link between GIS and CAMA. Select parcels for mass updates or generate reports that are visualized in real time with Esri products.

Run “what-if” scenarios in real time without data dumps or synchronization, with environments tailored to different user groups and workflows customized to your jurisdiction.

Capture uses cost, market and income approaches and works with cost tables including Marshall & Swift. Easy mass updates support what-if analysis, sales review and suggested factors, with GIS integration and neighborhood modeling across multiple years.

The Capture iPad app combines a simple workflow with an easy interface, so appraisers manage photos, sketches, maps and attributes on one device.

Appeals Processing lets taxpayers appeal online or through traditional methods, and staff schedule hearings, run comparables and print documents from a single dashboard.

Comprehensive financial management

Billings & Collections.

From the tax bill to final settlement, Billings and Collections handles the treasury side of Capture. Bills go to your print vendor with a QR code that takes owners straight to online payment, and a PDF of each bill stays on the property record.

Tellers take cash, check, card, ACH and Check 21 payments from daily logs. Bank accounts reconcile in Capture with a CSV upload, or export to financial software such as Munis.

Delinquent lists, tax sales or tax liens, land redemption and agency disbursements run in the same system, with year-end settlement packaged for auditors.

One platform, your way

From deed to settlement.

Capture covers the entire property tax cycle. Run it as one system, or only the part your office needs.

  1. Deed processing
  2. Mapping
  3. Appraisal
  4. Assessment roll
  5. Billing
  6. Collection
  7. Settlement & audit reports

Complete package

One system, one shared database.

Assessment and collections run on the same Capture database. Ownership, value and exemption changes flow straight into bills, there are no interfaces between offices to maintain, and one audit trail follows each parcel from deed to receipt.

Separate installations

Assessment or collections on its own.

Keep the system another vendor already runs in one office, or let each department choose for itself. Capture is installed as the assessment system or the collection system, and the data exchange with the other office’s system is customized as part of the solution.
