The intent of this RFP is to buy a statewide Property Assessment Management System (PAMS) that will integrate, streamline and standardize the business functions all levels of government perform to administer the local property tax code and share information with each other.
PAMS is intended to be a centralized, web-based (thin client) solution that replaces MOD IV and its peripheral systems currently provided by various private firms across the state. PAMS will function as the core technical infrastructure which all levels of government in NJ will use to accomplish the following property related business functions:
PAMS will facilitate statewide standardization via creation of a centralized relational database of all real property in New Jersey and associated applications, including parcel management, municipal tax collection, sales, county equalization, CAMA, appeals, and basic spatial (GIS) information. Users will have ad-hoc reporting capabilities within their authority from this database or a related data warehouse.
The new system will demonstrate New Jersey's commitment to better serve its citizens by making government programs more efficient, more accessible and less expensive. PAMS will also provide timely and convenient access, via the Internet, to real property tax information for local governmental agencies, and ultimately citizens and businesses.
