Exciting RPS Online news!
The RPS Online Project Team and ORPTS are excited to announce that nine towns in Hamilton County will be the first jurisdictions in New York State to convert to RPS Online, our new web-based tool for nearly all aspects of local assessment administration. The Project Team and ORPTS regional leadership met with County Real Property Tax Director Barry Baker and the assessors last week to begin planning the conversion.
The Hamilton County towns will begin using RPS Online on November 10 after receiving training from the Project Team. Northern Region staff will also be trained by the Project Team before the conversion.
Many thanks to all staff who have helped us get to this critical point in the evolution of RPS Online!
