2026.12.0

The main grid sorts on every sortable column, pages by account so a ceiling band is never split across pages, and remembers your filters and selections for the session.

Open any ceiling to see one row per run that touched it — the certified run first, then each supplement under its tape name with before and after amounts. The header shows Account Number, Owner, Tax Year, and Tax Unit.

Every column except Account can be toggled on or off. Hidden columns close up with no gap and come back in their original spot, and your choices are saved per user.

Accounts where two or more owners hold a ceiling-establishing exemption and none owns the whole property now carry a Multi-ceiling pill, so your office can find and review them.

SB 1951 ended the 5% administrative fee withheld for the appraisal district beginning with tax year 2026. TaxOffice 4 no longer withholds the fee on 2026-and-later penalties, while 2025 and prior years keep it regardless of deposit date. Distribution Summary, Distribution Summary By Year, and Rendition Summary balance across mixed-year date ranges.

When a disbursement posts to the general ledger, the administrative fee is broken out only for the 2025-and-prior portion. The Entity Distribution Report shows the full penalty for 2026 collections and Total Disbursement ties.

The Installment Agreements search grid now shows Closed/Completed, Cancelled, or Defaulted for closed agreements, matching the status on the details page, so completed agreements can be told apart from cancelled or defaulted ones without opening each record.

Each agreement's type now appears in the search results grid, matching the badge on the details page.

Users no longer need full Admin access just to reach the one admin function they're allowed to use. The menu shows up when a user holds at least one admin item permission, and it lists only those items. Fiscal Year End and Tax Year Rollover pages also enforce their permission on direct URL access.

The report now has its own permission in addition to the feature flag, so administrators can give it to just the staff who need it. Direct URL access without the permission is blocked.

Offices that want the owner's name and address in the receipt header regardless of who remitted the payment can now have this turned on per office. Offices already receiving this behavior are unchanged.

When a refund check is printed and posted from SMIGL Disbursements or BankRec CheckWriter, the payment comment in TaxOffice 4 now records the check number, print date, and who printed it, so staff can tell a taxpayer when a check was printed without a separate log. Reprints update the comment with the new check number and date.

Accounts carrying an absolute exemption code now import with their full value exempted whether the district reports taxable value as zero or equal to market value, so they reconcile and stay off the Bad Accounts Report.

The per-entity §11.145 exemption Orion CADs report for 2026 is now staged with the amount the CAD reported, using the same exemption type as other CAD modules, so affected accounts balance to the CAD's taxable value.

Both applications show a banner naming the client and identifying the environment as TEST, following the TaxOffice 4 design, so test activity is easy to distinguish from production.

TaxOffice 4 moved to the latest version of its UI component library and a rebuilt application theme. You'll notice crisper brand colors and correctly sized checkboxes, and grids keep each row's values in place when you sort or edit.

Cancel buttons in dialogs are readable without hovering, action buttons and date fields sit at their normal height, the grid pager no longer shows an extra item count, and the "Items per page" dropdown opens attached to its control.
