GovernMax.com Completes Okaloosa County's Web
Site for Online Property Tax Collection
KALAMAZOO, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2000--Manatron, Inc.(Nasdaq:MANA)
today announced that its GovernMax.com division (http://www.governmax.com)
has completed a CollectMax web site (http://okaloosa.governmax.com/collectmax)
for Florida's Okaloosa County. The CollectMax web site, which GovernMax
also hosts for Okaloosa County, interfaces with the county's back-office
information systems to enable property owners to pay taxes online
for a convenience fee. Okaloosa County has 110,000 property accounts
and includes the cities of Crestview, Destin, Fort Walton Beach
and Niceville.
Okaloosa County's CollectMax web site marks the first time a Florida
county will receive online tax payments without the use of a third-party
collection agency, according to county officials. It also marks
GovernMax's first CollectMax installation.
GovernMax's managing director Robert Fry said, "We are very excited
to have the first installation of CollectMax completed. Because
of its ability to allow the secure and accurate transactions between
local government and its citizens, CollectMax is a key addition
to our suite of web software as local governments invest in e-government."
Chris Hughes, Okaloosa County Tax Collector, commented, "Convenience
should play an important part in how local government serves its
citizens. The Internet combined with GovernMax's e-commerce software
is an excellent tool for local governments to increase their level
of service to the citizen."
