Commissioners review annual subscription for property appraisal software, confirm funding source
Summary
Officials discussed an annual subscription upgrade for the county's mass appraisal software and confirmed the cost will come from the Real Estate Assessment (RDA) fund rather than the general fund; staff said implementation is planned between late 2026 and early 2027.
Hocking County commissioners on July 3 discussed an annual subscription and upgrade to the county's computer-assisted mass appraisal software and confirmed the subscription cost is included in the Real Estate Assessment (RDA) fund, not the general fund.
During the meeting a staff member explained the acronym to the group: "Grama is computer computer assisted mass appraiser," and said the new subscription is an annual recurring fee from the same company. Commissioners asked whether the expense was in the county budget; staff replied the cost is in the RDA fund.
Staff said the county expects the upgraded system to be "up and running" by late 2026 or the beginning of 2027 and that it will replace the older system used for property appraisals. Commissioners asked about cost comparisons to the existing arrangement; staff said the new subscription is with the same company and the price is similar or lower than current payments.
No motion specific to the subscription fee appears in the transcript; commissioners confirmed the funding source during discussion. The transcript does not include a final vote specifically approving the subscription agreement in isolation, nor does it state a contract number or total dollar amount for the upgrade.
