PTMS manages the complexities faced by manufacturers in tracking, valuing, and reporting their personal and real property.
PTMS is flexible enough to calculate values on your property to accurately reflect true fair market value, using both jurisdictional calculation tables, user-defined methods, and abatement or exemption rules. It creates facsimile personal property returns, centralizes all real and personal property work, warns users of upcoming tax bills, and takes the pain out of forecasting and accruals.
You’ll save time, minimize taxes, and manage all of your documents from one platform. Our customers report saving an average of 78% of the time they’d otherwise spend on property tax compliance tasks by using PTMS.

How does this help my business?
PTMS has been a huge time-saver for us, from filing returns, the assessments, tax bills — really the whole process from beginning to end. We can prepare two or three hundred returns for a state in four to five hours, and get them out the door same-day if needed. If you did that by hand, you’d need several people on hand to be able to handle that volume!
