Case Study: Butler County achieves major labor and fuel savings and faster desktop reassessments with Tyler Technologies' Tyler Verify

Desktop Appraisal Review Software Results in Labor and Fuel Savings and Greater Public Trust

Butler County Auditor in Ohio (population ~370,000) needed to complete a six‑year reappraisal while restoring taxpayer trust, reducing costs, and building in‑house appraisal capacity. Historically reliant on outsourced fieldwork, the county’s reassessment team was challenged to perform most duties internally and complete the 2012 reappraisal on time and on budget.

Tyler Technologies deployed an integrated desktop solution centered on Tyler Verify—combining street‑level and aerial imagery, GIS tools, sketches and mobile tablets—which was implemented in six months. The county completed desktop reviews for 130,000 parcels in the first year, with staff routinely exceeding 200 reviews per day, cutting labor and fuel costs, limiting field visits to only complex cases, and improving electronic recordkeeping, quality control and transparency for taxpayers.
