How Alltus runs your appeals season
1.Petitions come in complete
Petitioners and agents file online, one petition or hundreds at a time. The portal checks for missing information, confirms agent authorization and collects the filing fee before the petition reaches your team.
2.Evidence and hearings in one place
Petitioners, agents and appraisers upload evidence to the petition, not to an email inbox. Your clerks schedule hearings in bulk, and the right notice goes out for in-person, phone or virtual hearings.
3.Decisions are issued and on the record
Magistrates and board members review the evidence and record their decision. The decision form is generated automatically, the petitioner is notified, and every step is logged for audit.

“I finalized all of the petitions. It was very nice to just finalize all petitions, generate, and send the email.”
Implementation
Running in weeks, not quarters
Weeks 1–2
Set up your deadlines, forms, fees and user roles for clerks, magistrates and the appraiser's office. Connect your payment processor and property data.
Weeks 3–4
Move your open petitions and documents over from your current system. Your staff test filing, scheduling and notices from start to finish.

Open the portal to petitioners and agents and run hearings. We stay with you through your first season and adjust as your rules change.
