City Management
Bill and collect taxes and manage licenses with our simple management suite exclusively designed for local government.
Local government management just got easier
IMPROVE EFFICIENCY & BETTER SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY
Our city management suite consists of two applications: Municipal Manager for managing general taxes and licenses, and Property Tax Management, which handles property tax data specifically. Used together or separately, both programs interface seamlessly with Alliance™ Counter Receipts for easy payment management as well as Alliance™ General Ledger for comprehensive accounting records.
As with all of our programs, custom setup options and configurations allow you to set your software to adhere to local regulations and best meet your community’s needs.
