Summary: This extension and increase will allow for the continuation of support services for the legacy property tax system. Tom Brown worked for the Cook County Bureau of Technology for more than 30 years, retiring in November 2023. The BOT and the property tax elected officials are working diligently with Tyler Technologies to fully implement a new Integrated Property Tax System.
Tom developed solutions and provided technical support using COBOL and other legacy technologies to support various aspects of the property tax cycle, including tax extension and the creation of the property tax bills. Due to vendor related delays with the implementation of the new property tax system, it became imperative that the BOT keeps Tom Brown as a consultant until we retire the legacy property tax system. BOT is actively working with Tyler Technologies and the property tax stakeholders to implement a new property tax system.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
