Once discovering a possible module, we <br /> discussed the opportunity as a tax office management team. Next, we took the product to <br /> our Information Technologies Department to install and test. Once going live with the <br /> offering, it became instantly popular with the public. The office won an award for producing <br /> this communication medium, and we became the first tax office in the state to offer this as a <br /> communication option. Now, we also have incorporated live chat with the public in Orange <br /> County, and it too has become a popular method of communication. <br /> The Orange County Tax Office released a Property Tax Assistance Evaluator online tool to <br /> help educate taxpayers about available property tax relief programs. This was originally <br /> built years before its release in Microsoft Excel using Visual Basic programming, but it was <br /> not as user-friendly as desired. Once arriving in Orange, a team was pulled together to <br /> improve the tool. Information Technologies was then consulted to build it into a web-based <br /> version thereby allowing anyone access. Taxpayers are now able to interact with the <br /> Evaluator and determine if they meet the requirements of the State's most popular <br /> property tax relief programs.
