Assessor John Hurt told the Legislative Committee that county Patriot property data sits in a SQL database that Catalis can make accessible only through a read-only cloud subscription at $37,500/year; he proposed a one-time $6,000 PDF export as a taxpayer-minded alternative and flagged potential legal follow-up if the county declines.

The full story

Assessor of Property John Hurt told the Sumner County Legislative Committee on March 6 that Patriot property records on a county server currently require Catalis software access and that Catalis offered read-only cloud access for $37,500 per year. Hurt said he had proposed a lower-cost alternative: Catalis could produce PDFs of all property record cards for a one-time charge of $6,000, which he planned to request from the county budget if the committee approved pursuing that route.
