Washington County board selects Keystone for updated tax software
Summary
On March 6, 2023, the Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to select Keystone Information Systems, Inc. as the preferred vendor for a new comprehensive tax software system and authorized staff to finalize a contract after legal review.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved selecting Keystone Information Systems, Inc. as the preferred vendor to supply an updated comprehensive tax software system, the board said at its March 6, 2023 meeting.
County Manager and County Attorney Curtis Potter told the board the selection followed staff review and reference checks. "Ms. Wilkins has looked at this software at another county’s office," Potter said, noting the contract was attached to the meeting materials. The motion, made by Commissioner Ann C. Keyes and seconded by Commissioner John C. Spruill, authorized staff to execute the attached contract after final negotiations and any additional legal recommendations.
The board did not disclose contract cost or implementation schedule during the meeting; minutes note the contract is part of the record attached to the minutes. Potter told commissioners staff would finalize negotiations to include any "additional, more favorable terms or conditions recommended by the County Attorney." Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the selection.
Why it matters: county tax software underpins property tax billing and collection; an updated system can change workflow for the tax office and affect taxpayers if rollout includes data migration or changes to payment processing.
Next steps: staff will complete negotiations and return documents for execution as required by county policy; the contract text is referenced in the meeting packet attached to the minutes.
