Case Study – San Mateo County 
Project Overview 
During the real estate crash of 2007, the county of San Mateo (and many other counties around the country) 
were experiencing a fast drop in the value of properties. Since county revenues were driven mainly by property 
taxes, this drop in values was affecting the budgets of many of the cities and townships in the county. The 
treasurers of the various governments would call the county tax collector every few days to see what the latest 
budget numbers were for the county. This quickly became difficult to manage so the county decided to build a 
website that would calculate the net property values and publish them each day. 
Solution 
We designed and built a system that would take a data feed each night and process the numbers to produce 
budget numbers for all of the different entities in the county. The calculations were quite complex because 
each entity could get their funds from a different part of the county, and sometimes these parts would overlap. 
This page was available to the county treasurers, as well as the general public. 
Technical Details 
Due to the large amount of calculations that needed to be done, and the fact that the data was only updated 
nightly, not continuously during the day, we designed a system that would process and calculate the numbers 
each night in a batch job that was scheduled to run on the SQL server. This job would look in a specific place on 
the network where an AS400 would dump some data for pickup. 
Each night the data for the application would be wiped clean and recreated from scratch to ensure that all the 
data was correct and up to date. 
Benefit 
Provided Fast Access to Data for Outside Departments – The different county entities that needed 
this information for budgeting purposes were updated much more quickly once this system was put into place, 
thus freeing them of the burden of having to call the treasurer each day for an update.
