Fulton County moves to replace Tax Master and secure five years of tax records
Summary
Officials said the county's Tax Master collection system is going out of business and approved a motion to execute a contract to secure five years of tax records and transition to a new collection vendor.
FULTON COUNTY — The fiscal court addressed an imminent vendor disruption to its tax-collection system and moved to execute a replacement contract to preserve historical data and maintain collection services.
Speaker 1 warned that the county’s current system, identified in the packet as Tax Master, "is going out of business," and recommended paying a one-time fee so the county could retrieve five years of records. "So with the 7,968, they will go back 5 years and pull all the information from Tax Master so we'll have access to that," Speaker 1 said.
Speaker 8 confirmed vendor assurances that county offices would continue to have access under the proposed contract and could merge vendor data into county notices. Speaker 7 recommended executing the contract and asked for a motion; the court made and seconded the motion and advanced the item (the transcript records the motion and second but does not show a roll-call tally).
Officials discussed funding sources and noted the one-time cost had been anticipated in ARPA and county budgeting. The court also discussed the broader need to maintain five-year records for legal and tax inquiries.
Next steps in the meeting included finalizing contract terms and confirming whether remote data access and letter-merge capabilities would be included as described by the vendor contact. The transcript contains no signed contract or vendor name beyond references in the packet.
