What is RPTA Project?

RPTA is a countrywide project being implemented by the Bureau of Local Government Finance – Department of Finance through coordinative efforts of Municipal Development Fund Office with funding assistance from the World Bank. The Program aimed to provide medium term financing and technical support to the LGUs for the implementation of programs and activities geared towards accelerating the growth of local source revenues specifically revenues from real property taxes.

Objectives of RPTA Project

F    To support LGU Resource Mobilization efforts through improvements of Real Property Tax collection;

F    To enhance administration of foreign assisted project; and

F    To develop a model in tax administration for replication in other LGUs.

  Project Features
   

The project shall be offered into two (2) Packages: 

1.        Package A – This is the continuation of the old RPTA design for manual-based LGUs RPTA administration.  This package is exclusive for Tax Mapping (TM), Records Conversion and Management (RM) and Tax Collection Enforcement (TCE) 

2.        Package B – This package is essentially a  computer assisted and Geographic Information System (GIS) ready RPTA system

RPTA Project Component

·      Tax Mapping  (TM ) - Method of identifying real property units, establishing property boundaries, determining actual use and discovering undeclared properties.

·          RECORDS CONVERSION AND MANAGEMENT (RC) – Involves the conversion of tax mapping information to individual property records, classification, appraisal and assessment of real properties. Also included are the preparation of collective assessment rolls as well as the installation and maintenance of basic records management system in the local assessment office.

·          TAX COLLECTION ENFORCEMENT (TC) – Involves the review and revision of existing procedures on the collection recording, accounting and disposition of real property taxes, both for collectibles and delinquencies.  The objective is to develop improved methods and techniques and to provide LGUs with models for tax information and collection enforcement that they may adopt for their respective localities.

·          DATA COMPUTERIZATION (DC) – encompasses all activities leading to the establishment and operationalization of a computer assisted database for RPTA, among which, includes the familiarization/training of key personnel, encoding and validation of data, and acquisition and installation of standard RPTA system, generation of reports and preparation of complementary manual of procedures.

·          Geographic Information System (GIS) – entails the digitization of all tax maps with the inclusion of necessary information on every piece of land at the Treasurer’s and Assessor’s Offices and the possibility of linkages with other offices. This system is being used as an aid for ocular inspection, verification of owners for location of properties, generation of vicinity maps, identification of over-lapped properties and to identify duplicate assessment of real properties.
