Project Overview
The Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR) is developing a new information technology (IT) system for industrial property tax. Taxpayers will file their annual industrial property tax returns in the new system for the 2025-26 tax year with a January 1, 2025, assessment date and a March 15, 2025 filing deadline. The system will be available in a secure online services portal using a Microsoft Dynamics 365 GCC platform. It will eliminate the need for emailed and paper mailed returns, provide access to forms and information, provide account and asset detail, designate authorized users, communicate securely, and exchange confidential taxpayer information.
The project is releasing in two phases; phase 1 will provide taxpayer and county web portal for industrial property tax returns with a go live date of 1/1/2025 and phase 2 will provide appraisal/inspection functionality with a go live date of 5/19/2025. This project is a legacy application modernization, as the original system was developed over 20 years ago. There is also a large Organizational Change Management component as this represents a business process transformation and a new leading edge technology skill set needed for IT.
This project uses PMBOK, and the software development lifecycle is Agile. RSM is the solution vendor implementing the solution, and there is a DOR IT and Program (end users) team as well.
