The Scottish Assessors’ Association,
whose members are responsible for
property valuation for rates and
council tax purposes across the whole
of Scotland, has had a soft launch of
its new website.
Developed by Connect, the website is a
dedicated portal that will provide the
public with a single point of access
to online information on council tax
banding, rateable values and electoral
registration.
“The site has been given a soft launch
with the aim of allowing members of
the public and the property profession
to use the site and recommend
refinements,” comments Ken Scott,
Senior Responsible Officer for
Scottish Assessors’ Portal.
“We are
delighted with the positive response
to the portal. The site has received
widespread praise, which serves to
highlight Connect’s technical
expertise and design know-how. We are
very impressed with Connect’s
professionalism, flexibility and
attention to detail. For the first
time the public can access one site
for information on property from
Lerwick to Berwick.”
Carole Boardman, Public Sector
Director at Connect Internet Solutions
Limited, explains; ”We are absolutely
thrilled to be working with the
Scottish Assessors Association. We
have worked in partnership to develop
a portal that provides easy access to
information for citizens, business,
property professionals and
government. This project serves to
demonstrate Connect’s capabilities in
delivering a national large scale
portal solution.”
