Special Assessment System (SA)

Overview
LOGIS’s Special Assessment System (SA) provides automated management and administrative support for many of the tasks related to the application and operation of special assessments. SA, which is tightly integrated with LOGIS’s Property Data System (PDS), maintains records of special assessment projects and related costs that are associated with a parcel. SA supports on-line searches; calculates interest and repayment schedules; and generates reports that detail special assessment rolls, certification, and parcel information.

Parcel Information
SA stores detailed parcel information including parcel address, owner name and address, legal description, taxpayer name and address, addition, and special assessment comments.
 

Special Assessment Master/Detail
The Special Assessment Master Record stores basic data about a special assessment such as assessment number and description, total assessment amount, interest rate, date levied, and number of years to repay. This data is common to all parcels included in a special assessment. Special Assessment Detail Records store data about a special assessment as it relates to individual parcels included in the assessment. This data includes the original assessment amount for the parcel, total principal, current year interest, payoff amount, and deferral information. The system calculates a principal and interest payment schedule for the assessment and parcel.
 

Pending Special Assessments
City-defined special assessment numbers of pending assessments can be automatically converted to county-defined assessment numbers when assessments are actually levied.


Computer-aided Parcel Divisioning
A computer-aided parcel divisioning feature automatically creates two or more new parcels in the place of an existing parent parcel. Key data is carried over from the parent parcel to the new parcels. You can indicate the parcel to which the assessment will be associated or divide the assessment among the new parcels with a weighting factor.
