In conjunction with the Williamson County Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office, Tyler Technologies recently developed an online property tax estimator that instantly tabulates property tax based on input data.Users can search for any property within Williamson County by name, address or property identifier, input the property value and taxing units to calculate the property tax and pay it all from the same site.

The property tax estimator won the Tax Assessor/Collector’s office the 2017 Tyler Excellence Award on May 8. Prior to having access the online tool, calculating accurate property tax estimates by phone could take up to 10 minutes, according to a Williamson County press release.

With the deadline for protesting property valuations already past, the estimator could be a helpful tool for businesses, homeowners, mortgage lenders, title companies and realtors that need accurate estimates as they prepare to pay property taxes. The tool has also lightened the load for employees at the Tax Assessor/Collector’s office.

“The tax estimator has significantly increased our staff’s efficiency and level of customer service when responding to taxpayer questions,” said Larry Gaddes, the Williamson County tax assessor/collector, in a statement.
