System Information
XSoft Tax™ is designed as a window-based application. Our goal was to create a user-friendly environment for all aspects of the auditor’s and treasurer’s office day to day duties.

It is also organized in such a way to make the operations of your office flow in an efficient and effective manner.
Specific Components
-
Multi-Year system
XSoft Tax™ is set up to handle multiple years of data. Specific tables and fields exist that are year sensitive, allowing for the capture and storage of data by year. This will allow users to not only work in the current year, but also prior and future years. The design allows users to have access to prior and current year data.
-
Seamless Integration
For counties with XSoft CAMA™ and XSoft Tax™, the two systems will provide a seamless integration that will automate many of your daily functions. XSoft Tax™ will also provide standard integration, which includes the necessary procedures and processes to integrate data with other CAMA providers. Customized integration will be developed in conjunction with our clients and third-party vendors at the client’s request.
-
Automated Correction of Errors/Adjustments
XSoft CAMA™ and XSoft Tax™ will work together to allow for automated correction of errors and other assessor adjustments. Users will be able to accept or reject these changes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The systems will also create a customized paper trail that will be tailored to the specific counties’ needs.
-
Flexible Other/Special Assessment Tool
Other/Special Assessments can tend to be very difficult to manage. XSoft Tax™ will allow users to add them to one or multiple records at a time with a click of a button. The amounts can be modified for spring, fall or annual within the module for any applicable pay year.
-
Abatement Tracking
XSoft Tax™ has a custom abatement tracking tool that allows users to track the year of abatement, base assessed value, percentage of base AV, amount of deduction and resolution number along with the ability to add notes. This tool will allow users to know the status of the abatement in the respective pay year.
-
Deduction and Exemption Imports
XSoft Tax™ will import deduction and exemption values that are assigned by the assessor. If a deduction or exemption is on file in XSoft Tax™, the import process will automatically assign the new assessed value, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

Once in the system, users will be able to view and print.
-
Searching
The searching component allows the user to search for the various types of records, based on a wide variety of characteristics. It includes both basic search, as well as, advanced search options.
