Tyler Technologies to provide mass appraisal solution to Philadelphia

Tyler Technologies has signed an agreement with the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for its iasWorld CAMA computer-assisted mass appraisal software solution. The agreement, valued at more than $8 million, includes software-as-a-service (SaaS) implementation, data migration, training, maintenance, and support services.

Philadelphia is Pennsylvania’s largest city and the sixth most populous city in the U.S., with an estimated population of 1.5 million. The city encompasses approximately 140 square miles and has roughly 580,000 parcels. It required a new software solution that would be able to better integrate data, enhance audit capability, and offer better workload management and reporting for its staff, according to a statement from Tyler.
