Treasurer, assessor seek ARPA funds to replace property tax software; Amentum noted as county option
Summary
Jefferson County staff proposed using ARPA funds to implement a new property tax software system, citing a $52,270 implementation cost, a $30,945 annual fee, and a waived $58,000 licensing fee from the vendor; staff estimated a 4–5 month transition and requested legal review.
Treasurer Kristine Lund and Assessor Jessica Roach presented a preliminary request to use American Rescue Plan Act funds to implement a new property tax software system to replace the county’s Computer Arts product. Lund and Roach told the board that 22 Idaho counties have awarded the related contract to Amentum, that implementation is estimated at $52,270, and that an annual service fee would be about $30,945; Amentum will waive a $58,000 licensing fee in the proposal presented to the board.
Lund and Roach estimated a 4–5 month transition timeline and requested legal review of the contract before any approval. The board did not vote on the software purchase at this meeting; staff sought direction that legal examine the contract terms prior to returning with an approval item.
