RPS, the Real Property System

RPS, the Real Property System, is a collection of assessment, physical inventory and valuation programs that assists the assessing community in producing an equitable assessment roll. The system allows the assessor to keep their assessment and inventory information current. Using RPS, reports that are required by ORPS Rules & Regulations and by the New York State Real Property Tax Law can be produced. The system also assists the assessor in the performance of their assessing functions and the valuation of properties in their jurisdiction.
RPSV4 - This newest version of the Real Property System was released for production in November 1999. RPS Version4 is a Windows based system where the information is graphically presented through an application developed using the PowerBuilder programming language. Version 4 is easy to learn and easy to use. Behind the screens, data is stored using "SQL" (structured query language) in a relational database developed and managed using a product from Sybase Corporation called "Adaptive Server Anywhere". The relational database facilitates development and makes data access easy both by the RPS software and by other commercial software packages. Version 4 includes additional tools such as "GIS" (Geographic Information System), Image Management and Property Valuation to further enhance the system and accommodate the needs of the assessing community.
