3 BACKGROUND RESEARCH & METHODOLOGY Advanced Analytics (AA), a division of Hidalgo & DeVries, Inc., was commissioned to conduct the jointly sponsored, Second Annual Thomson Reuters-National Association of Counties (NACo) Tax Systems Research Study (in association with the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers and Finance Officers NACCTFO), amongst tax officials in U.S. counties. On June 26, 2012, a self-administered online questionnaire was ed to tax officials in counties across the country. The ing database of 2,392 names was generated by NACo. As in last year s study, a major objective of the research was to investigate the present views and future needs of tax officials, and to compare, where appropriate, 2012 results with those obtained in the 2011 study. The research topics covered both general information descriptive of the processes used, and services offered by the officials offices, as well as specifics regarding their views and ratings of various tax systems and their features and benefits. By the cutoff date of July 30, 2012, a total of 162 (6.8% response) questionnaires had been completed online. The information contained in the total number of completed questionnaires, forms the basis for this report. The following information presents a summary analysis of that data.

All information is presented in aggregate form, with additional cross-tabs by county population Small (S), Medium (M), Medium/Large (M/L) and Large (L) shown where appropriate. A research industry accepted statistical significance of 95% confidence interval and a +- 3% confidence level applies to the data presented here. As with all research studies, there are certain limitations to the data. Although improbable due to the high interval and confidence levels of this report, it is possible that certain data could be affected by nonresponse bias which is common to all market research. 3
4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. About the Respondents Size of Counties Population size of responding counties ranged from less than 5,000 for the smallest responding county to a high of over half-million for the largest. When grouped by size according to NACo s grouping guidelines, responding counties offer a fair representation of the average population range of counties across the United States. 59% of responding counties=populations of <50K compared to 70.5 %* nationally 15% of responding counties=populations of K compared to 12.5 %* nationally 17% of responding counties=populations of K compared to 9.7 %* nationally 9% of responding counties=populations of 250K> compared to 7.3 %* nationally *Source NACo Titles of Officials the most used title to describe the function of the respondent was that of Treasurer (67%), followed by, Tax Collector (17%). B. General Information Nine in ten of respondent s offices are responsible for collection/cashiering and property tax billing. While seven in ten are responsible for the development of personal property tax billing and revenue distribution. Other services mentioned by approximately half of respondents included development of tax bills, tax sale, and special assessment tax. In addition, six in ten of responding jurisdictions collect primary property taxes in two or more installments. Jurisdictions offering payment programs include: payment plans for past due taxes (48%), pre-pay option (34%) and coupon books (5%). The estimated number of Real Property Tax Bills sent during the last billing period varied according to the population size of the responding jurisdiction; with 30% of respondents sending out between 10-25K, 21% of respondents sending out less than 10K, 18% sending between 25-50K, 18% sending between K, and 13% sending more than 100K tax bills during their last billing period. (This last figure includes respondents who sent 1 million or more tax bills). The estimated number of Personal Property Tax Bills during the last billing period also varied according to the population size of the responding jurisdiction; with 28% of respondents sending out less than 1,000K, 25% of respondents sending out between 1,000-2,500, 11% sending between 2,500-5,000K tax bills, 18% sending between 5,000-10K, and 19% sending out more than 10K tax bills during their last billing period. The estimated number of License, Fees and other Tax Billings sent in the last billing period averaged 23k bills. The amount of collected tax revenues by respondents jurisdictions ranged from a low of 50 thousand dollars to a high of more than 800 million dollars. The number of tax dollars collected increased from the previous billing period for counties with populations of: < 50K by 9.9%; k by 7.7%; k by 8.2% and 250k + by 11.4%, while the number of delinquent accounts by county size decreased: < 50K by 13.4%; k by 10.1%; k by 4.5% and 250k + by 4.4%. 4
5 The size of staffs was in most cases directly related to the size of the taxing jurisdictions. There was no significant change in the number of staff reductions or staff hiring from last year s study. Only two in ten of respondents reported they currently use field personnel for auditing and collections, with the numbers skewed towards the larger population counties. About four in ten of respondents indicated that they provide public kiosks in their offices. A large increase is noted in the 85% of respondents that allow access to property tax information over the internet an increase from 69% in the previous year s study, with a commensurate increase of those who allow transactions, such as payment of taxes to take place online to 80% from the previous year s 67.8%. In addition, five in ten of all respondents have single location offices, with 47% offering at least two locations (branch office). Seven in ten respondents indicated the system in use in their offices was purchased from a solution provider. Of those 59% purchased a packaged product, while 34% had their system custom developed to meet specific needs. In addition, two in five of respondents indicated they operate on leased systems, while one in ten of the respondent s systems have been internally developed. In terms of integration, eight in ten (78%) respondents indicated that their TAX system is integrated with other county office systems such as CAMA and recorder. This is a modest 3 basis point increase from the previous year study. The age of systems in use in six out of ten of the respondent s offices is eight or more years. With slightly more than two in five of respondents systems have been in place for four to seven years. In addition, eight in ten of respondents indicated that their systems meet their present needs either very well or well, while two in ten of all respondents indicated some degree of dissatisfaction with their system. Two thirds of respondents indicated their systems are hosted in-house, while the balance indicated that their systems are hosted at a remote location. When it comes to adopting new technology, one third of respondents identified themselves as an Early Adopters (22%) or Innovators (12%). While almost four in ten self-identified as Late Majority (30%) or Laggards (9%). 14% of respondents indicated they are planning to replace their present Tax system. Of those, almost four in ten (35%) plan to do so over the next 12 months, while almost one on half (48%) plan to do so over the next 24 months. C. Views on TAX Systems A great majority of respondents, nine in ten, indicated that a state-of-the-art TAX system should offer key features such as collection and cashiering, delinquent tax processing and notification, automated interest and penalty calculations and, internet inquiry and payments. In addition, eight in ten of respondents added: maintains unlimited history, tax management, and real time accounting updating. Seven in ten of all respondents further added: tracking of property splits and combinations and tax billing with postal certification. 5

In addition, over 80 percent of respondents indicated that local sales/support representation, leading edge technology, robust base of successful deployments, provision of a scalable system, and no offshoring of design and development were also Very Important or Important to them.
