With over 153,000 views per day and more than 61 million hits per year, Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith said that the auditor’s website is the most widely used website in county government.
According to Keith, this demand led the Auditor’s Office to develop the MCRealEstate app, which performs property searches for sales data, digital photos, current county values, and real estate characteristics such as square footage and year built.
Keith said MCRealEstate will appeal to individual property owners, real estate agents, attorneys, insurance agents, planning departments, law enforcement, elected officials, and anyone buying or selling property in the county.
“We are excited to take this step as it represents our ongoing commitment to make government more accessible through the use of new innovation and technology,” Keith said.
The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store, Google Play, Blackberry World, and the Windows Marketplace.
MCRealEstate is available for download on smartphones such as iPhones, Android phones, BlackBerrys, and Windows phones in addition to various tablets including the new Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPad.
