As workloads increase, the need for efficiencies and with never-ending budget pressures at all levels of government, many jurisdictions are challenged to do more with less. Property taxes have become an increasing fiscal lifeline for counties. Because of the importance of this vital revenue source, it is imperative that jurisdictions completely, accurately and fairly apply the property tax burden to their taxpayers. Manatron’s GRM suite of products has been designed with this in mind.

 “The PTOC contracts are significant wins for Manatron,” said Bill McKinzie, Manatron President and CEO. “PTOC members represent forward looking jurisdictions with a solid vision and strategy, and we are extremely excited to partner with them on this very important project. As we continue to grow the GRM solution set, the entry into new markets is key to our success. GRM has been designed to be a national product, with the ability to cross over state lines with little custom development. PTOC’s selection of Manatron and GRM are further evidence that this solution is resonating with local government officials.”

About Property Taxation Officials of Colorado (PTOC):

In mid-2007, local government tax professionals from four major political jurisdictions in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area first came together as an informal idea sharing group.  PTOC has since evolved as a vehicle to solve challenges common to current and future members by advancing regional cooperation, mutual assistance, development of best practices and cost savings through forward-looking economy of scale actions.  The PTOC counties’ first joint investment has been the simultaneous acquisition of new software systems using a single set of standards to more effectively support their respective business operations.  The Directors of PTOC are the elected and appointed Assessors and Treasurers from

Arapahoe County

, the

City & County of Broomfield

, the

City & County of Denver

and

Jefferson County
