(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved the purchase of a new computer software program to assist two county offices in the processing of oil and gas taxes.
The Commission Monday approved the purchase of the program from Manatron Inc. at an initial cost of $16,200, with an annual maintenance cost of $2,200.
County IT Director Sandy Carter says the new program will eliminate alot of the manual entry now being done by the appraiser’s and county clerk’s offices.
