MapX turns the slow, paper-bound work of tax mapping into a live geospatial record — plotting technical descriptions, tracing parcel boundaries, and valuing property with the same precision a survey plan demands, at the speed a modern assessor's office needs.
Four stages carry a parcel from field data to a defensible tax record — each one built to replace a manual, paper-based step in the assessor's office.
AI-assisted capture reads a plan's metes and bounds and places it on the map — faster and more consistent than tracing it by hand.
An interactive webGIS lets staff plot survey plans and lot computations straight from the cadastral map, boundary by boundary.
Required every three years under BLGF's numbering convention, section maps generate automatically as boundaries shift.
Data mining keeps fair market values current, giving assessors a defensible figure without a manual re-appraisal cycle.
Property owners settle real property tax straight from the app — no line at the treasurer's office.
Owners with more than one land asset can list and pin every parcel they hold, keeping tax mapping accurate across all of them.
Timely reminders keep owners ahead of tax deadlines instead of finding out after a penalty applies.
