Utility Valuation System (UVS)

Precision valuation for state revenue and tax administration departments managing complex, multi-jurisdictional properties

Bring consistency to statewide utility valuation

The Future of

the Utility Valuation System

Large, multi-jurisdictional companies do not stop at a county line, and neither should the tools used to value them. The Catalis Utility Valuation System (UVS) gives state revenue and tax administration departments a configurable, purpose-built platform to value centrally assessed properties consistently and apportion that value fairly across every jurisdiction affected. Built on the same foundation as Catalis Property Tax Oversight, UVS can stand on its own or work alongside PTO as part of a single, unified valuation and oversight solution.

What UVS is Built to Handle

Airlines
Communications
Electric generation and transmission
Oil and gas
Public utilities
Mining
Railroads

For these industries, a single asset, network, or right of way can carry value across dozens of counties within a state. UVS was built to value that complexity accurately and apportion it fairly, so states are not left reconciling spreadsheets or reinterpreting jurisdiction-specific worksheets to arrive at a defensible number.

A Stand-Alone Solution, Built to Work as One Platform

UVS on its own

Address centrally assessed and utility valuation needs specifically.

PTO on its own

Broader oversight of county-level valuations statewide.

Both together

One consistent platform across every property type in the state.

A state can implement UVS on its own, implement PTO on its own, or bring both online together for a single, unified view of valuation and oversight.

Features built for Statewide, Multi-Jurisdictional Valuation

Four Valuation Models

Build an unlimited number of cost, income, market, and exemption models for complex, centrally assessed properties, each annotated with appraiser assumptions and overrides for consistent documentation and audit tracking.

Geospatial Analytics

Visualize multi-jurisdictional assets and apportion value across county and jurisdictional boundaries with confidence.

Electronic Filing

Give filers a secure, digital way to submit centrally assessed renditions and supporting documentation, in place of paper-based or jurisdiction-specific formats.

Configurable Platform

Adapt workflows to a state’s specific statutes, rules, and apportionment methodology without custom development.

Unified With PTO

Run UVS on its own or alongside Catalis Property Tax Oversight for a single, statewide view of valuation and oversight.

Tax Filing System Integration

Connect UVS directly to the state’s existing tax filing system, rather than running utility valuation as a disconnected, standalone process.

“The ability to automate the utility valuation process has allowed us to capture critical subject matter expertise in one web application and not 100 separate Excel spreadsheets.”

Case Study

New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department

Learn how New Mexico’s Taxation and Revenue Department, by implementing Catalis Property Tax Oversight, built a statewide property data warehouse and cut assessor review travel time by 70%.

Utility Valuation System

New Hampshire’s DRA faced a choice familiar to oversight teams everywhere: propose a legislative change, hire an expensive outside contractor, or automate with software. By choosing UVS, DRA replaced a fragile, spreadsheet-dependent process with one connected system, valuing 99 utilities in its first year while building lasting continuity into how the state values utility property. If your state is facing that same crossroads, let’s talk about what UVS could look like for you.
