Here’s the order in which the different types of adjustments are applied for the Land and the BSE compute independent of the sequence:

Land compute
1) f – Feature
2) r – Rate adjustments
3) a – Adjustment

Building Structural Elements (BSE) compute
1) m – Area adjustment
2) s – Area size override
3) r – Rate adjustment
4) a – CAMA adjustments
5) q – Quality points
6) t – Overall adjustments
7) o – Depreciation override
8) d – Depreciation ítem AND e – Depreciation table override
9) g – Global adjustments

Controller Properties

A miscellaneous property parameter is available in most of the Mass Appraisal Components Forms.

Different properties are available:
ComputeExecuteCondition
This property can be set to TRUE or FALSE.
Behavior when set to:

  • FALSE
    • Standard Setup- Recomputes the current and child records as well as the MA_SITE and MA_MASTER (to update the new component value and linked values such as Income)
  • TRUE
    • Special Cases – Recomputes ALL component records (buildings, land, etc.) and the MA_SITE(s) and MA_MASTER for the property. For instance, special land records may impact the value of all lands. If this is the case, the parameter can be set to true using an expression to set it when these land types are present.

MA – Full Recompute All MA Records

CAMA Full Recompute All Mass Appraisal Records

Overview

The Recompute All MA Records control can be added to any Mass Appraisal form, with the exception of CAMA Sales Information.
It is used for recomputing all the Mass Appraisal records for the current parcel. If this functionality is not applied, only the current record is updated when you click the Save button.
If the functionality is applied, then all the land, building, income, and MRA records for the current parcel are updated. For example, if you have a Land record open, and click Recompute All Mass Appraisal, all the land records associated with the property are recomputed. As well, all the building and income records associated wish the property are recomputed.
The Recompute All Mass Appraisal records can be run automatically, when the user clicks Save or Delete, or manually, when the use clicks the Recompute button. In the latter case, as with all OpenForms action button, security can be applied.

An expression can be added to this functionality so that it is applied under a specific condition only.

  1. Launch the Govern OpenForms Designer (OFD).
  2. Open the CAMA form.
  3. Select the tab for the entity.
  4. Expand the Controller properties. The name of the Controller varies with the form.
  5. Select one of the following from the ComputeExecuteMethodType drop-down list.
    None If you do not want to apply this functionality.
    Manual: To run the recompute when the user clicks the action button.
    AfterSaveAndDelete: To run the recompute when the user clicks the save or delete button for the current record.
  6. Click Save

 

Verifying that the Action Button is Added to the Form

If you have set the Recompute All MA for the Current Parcel functionality to manual mode, you can verify that the action button is added in Govern.
To verify the action button is added to the form:

  1. Launch Govern.
  2. Open a Profile that contains the form you configured.
  3. Open the form.
  4. Ensure that the Recompute All MA for Current Parcel button is visible.
  5. Hover the mouse over the button.
  6. Ensure that the tool tip is displayed.

 

Defining Security for the Recompute All Mass Appraisal Records Functionality

To set up security permissions for the Recompte All functionality:
Launch the Govern OpenForms Designer (OFD).

  1. Open the form to which you added the Recompute All functionality.
  2. Click the Security icon.
  3. Select an item under each of the following: Type, Profile, User or Role
  4. Select the downward arrow beside the action buttons for the entity that you configured.The security setting Recompute All MA for the Current Parcel is displayed.
  5. Click the arrow to disable the security for the selected security Type, Profile, and Role or user.
  6. Click Save on the OpenForms Designer form.

 

Adding a Condition to the Recompute All MA

You can add an expression to the Recompute All MA functionality in order to execute the recompute only when a certain condition is met. For example, you could add an expression to execute the query only when a specific land schedule is selected.
To add a condition:

  1. Launch the Govern OFD.
  2. Open the form to which you added the Recompute All MA functionality.
  3. Click the ellipsis button beside the Execute Condition parameter.This opens the Expression Selector.Enter the expression.In the example, the expression is @attrRATE_SCHEDULE=’Bay Front’
  4. Click OK on the Expression Selector.
  5. Click Save on the OpenForms Designer interface.

 

TIP: You can test the expression with the Evaluate feature. When you add an expression, the attributes in the expression appear on the form. Enter a value in the parameters for the form. Click Evaluate.

MA – Mass Appraisal Feature 4 – Search

Mass Appraisal Feature 004 – Search

Overview

The Mass Appraisal Search feature allows you to retrieve datasets from the database. The Predefined Searches pane is the main user interface for performing searches on the database.
Further actions such as creating permits, attaching messages, generating licenses, generating mailing lists, etc. can then be performed on the records in these datasets.

When a search is performed, you are querying the database based upon your specified criteria. For example, a search by Parcel ID (P_ID) will return all records with a P_ID or a P_ID that matches a specified parameter. Search results can be controlled with the value specified in the Max. Records parameter in the User Registry. For example when the Max. Records parameter is used, i.e. a value of 25 is specified, only the first 25 records are used. If there are more records, they are discarded. Additional sorting can occur, but only on the records obtained.

MA – Feature 012 – Roll Forward BRules

Mass Appraisal Feature 012 – Roll Forward Business Rules

Overview

The Roll Forward feature (parameter) is used to duplicate the creation of records, deletion of records and changes made to existing records for future years that are already initialized. The option is enabled in the Govern New Administration (GNA)

 

Roll Forward

An example of the use of the Roll Forward feature is a situation where the current year is 2012 and 2013 year data has been initialized to start preparing for next years assessment or tax roll. In the event of an appeal in 2012, any changes made will be rolled forward to 2013 if answered yes when prompted by the system to roll forward this change. It is important to know that only the CHANGE will be brought forward.

Roll Forward Data: Select the Roll Forward Data option if you make modifications to records in earlier years that you want to carry forward to
records in the future years that are open. For example, the current year is 2019. The user returns to 2016 and changes a record. A confirmation message appears each time you save a new record or modify an existing one when there are records for future or more recent years.

When making property appraisals you may need to have open the current fiscal year and several years in the future. For example, if the current fiscal
year is 2015, you may have open 2016, 2017, and 2018. The configuration parameters and property records from 2015 are copied to the future years,
2016, 2017, and 2018.

 

Modification in Future Years

If there is a change made in 2019, such as an extension to a porch, you can update the record for the year in which the change occurred and then roll the
change forward to the future years, without having to open and modify each record. The changed field is copied from the current year to the future years.
Structures that have not changed are not rolled forward.

MA – Appraisal Linking

CAMA Appraisal Linking

Overview

Parcel Linking

The Parcel Linking function is used for linking a group of parcels. These parcels can be assessed and assigned values based on total area rather than
on a per parcel basis, with the Mass Appraisal module. This function can be used, for example, to maintain data on a condominium complex.
Define the complex as the master parcel and link each unit to it. Enter a percentage for each unit; then, use the Appraisal Linking option to calculate
the values. Alternately, you can enter a value and a percentage for each unit and use this option to calculate the value of the master parcel. For additional details, see Parcel Linking
