DESCRIPTION

The procuring entity seeks a vendor to implement a property tax relief screening system supporting the administration of Ohio’s two primary homeowner tax relief programs: the owner occupancy credit and the homestead exemption. The solution must allow counties to use common data sources, screening tools, and risk-scoring methodologies for consistent statewide evaluation, while permitting each county to participate voluntarily on an opt-in basis.

The system is expected to use a revenue-based cost model in which contractor compensation is derived solely from validated recovered revenue. It should support performance-based evaluation tied to the successful identification of ineligible exemptions, reduce manual administrative work through automated data matching and candidate prioritization, and provide transparent determinations through audit trails, linked evidence, and traceable decision pathways.

The solution must maintain secure, immutable, timestamped, and fully traceable audit logs that are available in real time. It should support batch processing, scheduled data imports, ad hoc queries, and dynamic ingestion pipelines capable of handling varying county data formats. Cross-referencing with national public records, voter rolls, property ownership data, and comparable authoritative multistate datasets is also required to identify discrepancies across jurisdictions.
