Lee County, FL- Clerk of the Circuit Court Selects Axia, Pioneer Technology Group’s Value Adjustment Board Software

Sanford, FL, October 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The current process of filing a petition with the VAB must be done via mail or in person. Lee County has seen the number of petitions double in the last two years. The huge increase in fillings has led to vast amounts of paper and increased hours for VAB staff.

The software, Axia, will bring together all parties that are involved in the VAB process. Taxpayers will have the ability to file petitions online; Magistrates will fill out worksheets at the hearing, and the Property Appraiser will have the ability to upload evidence directly into the system. Axia will also improve the scheduling of hearings and the accuracy of reporting. All of this will result in a better work experience for the Lee County VAB staff and a better Taxpayer experience when dealing with staff.

Lee County joins the seven other Florida Counties that are using Axia to streamline their VAB processes, including: Broward, Palm Beach, Indian River, Orange, Flagler, St. Johns, and Bay.
