Deed Processing
Capture allows for a local county’s Probate court to communicate directly with Capture so deeds that have passed through the court will import into Capture. If that is not possible then there are alternate ways to import deeds into Capture on a daily basis. A deed is a legal instrument that conveys changes made to a parcel. Deeds may also be brought into the assessment office by the owner. Regardless of how the deed enters the system, there are three departments that handle and make changes to parcel information based on the deed: mapping, assessment, and appraisal. The changes made may be an ownership (assessment), legal (mapping), and/or sales change (appraisal).
Address Management
To ensure consistency of data, capture stores street names and subdivision names in special databases. when entering street or subdivision names, users are required to select names from drop-downs that appear as they type. Only names stored in the databases will be available in these drop-downs. This requirement helps to eliminate data-entry errors and ensure the ability to search.
Assessment
The Capture sketch module allows users to create and manage detailed sketches of buildings and other improvements that are on parcels. These sketches are used to determine the size and types of areas that make up these improvements. Some of the information used to determine building values is gathered from these sketches.
Personal Property
Personal Property accounts can be managed through Capture. Users can process renditions, regenerate accounts, and update address information on both individual and mass levels. They may also rollover the depreciation schedule, create custom lists, supplement, and generate reports for personal property accounts. The Quick Helps located in the Personal Property section will walk users through these processes step-by-step.
Valuation
Capture’s valuation workflow allows users to determine parcel values by calculating the value of land and improvement items on each parcel. Parcel values are calculated based on either the Honeycutt or Marshal & Swift method of appraisal. The method to be used is determined by the State.
The total value of a parcel is found by adding the value of all land, buildings, appendages, miscellaneous improvements, and any other improvements on the parcel.
