Specialty Property Valuation ConsiderationsMany assessors and appraisers find themselves ex-panding spatial data collection and analysis beyond the standard parcel base map. Incorporating addi-tional information into their assessment toolbox us-ing spatial representation can have several benefits including: improving accuracy of parcel base maps; inventorying taxable assets; and capturing more accu-rate spatial attributes on taxable assets for fair value. This presentation takes a look at these additional data sets and how GIS is used to create and manage them.

Moving iasWorld® Closer to YouJoin Tyler for lunch and a firsthand look at how we’re moving iasWorld closer to where you need it—at home, in the office, in the field and everywhere you go. iasWorld Field Mobile is the only true appraisal and tax mobile so-lution that allows appraisers to work in the iasWorld com-puter-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA)software solution. This powerful, one-of-a-kind tablet application goes well beyond simply taking document files to the field on a mo-bile device. It places the power of iasWorld in appraisers’ hands by moving appraisal work from the desktop to the field. Efficiencies are discovered, data entry errors are re-duced, resources are conserved and task management is a non-event with the Field Mobile application. Take pho-tos, draw sketches and update parcel data directly in the software while standing on the property. Seamless in-tegration with GIS allows appraisers to preload dynamic maps, which makes mapping routes effortless. The E-file feature in iasWorld moves your taxpayers closer to your appraisal and tax operations without the need for them to visit your office. E-filing gives taxpay-ers the ability to submit homestead, personal proper-ty, change of address and more online in the comfort of their home or a location most convenient to them. In addition to reducing the amount of traffic and paper flowing through your office, E-file loads the data cap-tured online directly into your iasWorld system—re-ducing data entry tasks and creating fewer errors dur-ing the submission process for improved efficiencies. We look forward to showing you how we are moving the power of iasWorld closer to you.

GIS Local Governance, Mutual Aid and GIS within Indian Nations Lands In the real world that people live in, jurisdiction or ad-ministration boundaries aren’t necessarily marked on the ground, and certainly aren’t necessarily respected by natural disasters, economic activity, or the various aspects of the new focus on “Community Resiliency”. Oklahoma is a special place from which all can learn with its many Indian Nations, and the recognition and respect for their land as Sovereign Nations. Disaster re-sponse certainly, plus daily mutual aid arrangements, and now NG911 are the subject of this special session. The conference has invited special guests to tell their stories and plans for the future with respect to their special relationships, complex boundaries and cooper-ative data sharing/support issues. There are common cross-jurisdictional issues we all face, no matter where one is in the country.
