Roanoke County, Virginia's TaxView application is a customized solution that addresses the County’s need to offer comprehensive tax parcel information through a graphical and simple user interface. The TaxView app was created from the ground up with accessibility in mind, and an emphasis was placed on integrating the latest technologies to ensure mobile compatibility and the use of location services. The TaxView app offers a new level of government transparency to its citizens, by including a vast array of public data about land and tax parcels in an easy-to-use and mobile solution. Citizens and staff are no longer tied to desktop computers, as the TaxView app can be used on a variety of mobile devices, from any location. This increased ease-of-use helps streamline the day-to-day operation of staff while giving citizens access to County data whenever, and wherever, they choose.
