Assessor seeks Beacon add-ons; commissioners approve $173,647 three-year package
Summary
The Board approved a Schneider Geospatial Beacon amendment for the Assessor's Office with a one-time $50,263 setup cost, $39,919 hosting in 2026 and projected multi-year costs totaling $173,647 over three years, to be paid from the Assessor's Reassessment Fund.
Assessor Ginny Whipple told the Bartholomew County Commissioners on Jan. 5 that the Assessor's Office will add Beacon modules from Schneider Geospatial intended to expand appraisal, mapping, and reporting capabilities. Commissioners approved a First Amendment to the county's Schneider agreement for the Assessor's Office.
The amendment lists a one-time setup cost of $50,263 and 2026 annual hosting of $39,919, yielding Year 1 costs of $90,182. Subsequent annual hosting and support fees are $41,116 for 2027 and $42,349 for 2028; the three-year total presented in the meeting record is $173,647. The modules cited in the amendment include appraisal and reporting tools, data extraction and comparison modules, mapping layers, data-collection modules, and support for assessment appeals. The Assessor indicated funding would come from the Assessor's Reassessment Fund; commissioners approved the amendment unanimously.
The meeting record lists module names and the price schedule but does not include vendor performance metrics or a detailed rollout timeline in the excerpt.
