According to PGLU, the Office of the Provincial Assessor (OPAss) completed its province-wide evaluation of 19 municipal assessors’ offices on August 3, 2026, to check real property tax administration and overall local operational performance.
Representatives from various provincial assessment divisions visited each municipality across La Union to conduct the reviews. The field teams examined how local staff manage property records, enforce provincial directives, and run daily tax assessment operations.
The evaluation covered several specific administrative areas:
- Compliance with provincial issuances and official policies
- Effective use of the Electronic Real Property Tax System (eRPTS)
- Maintenance of property records and technical operations
- Completion of tax mapping and the Quarterly Report on Real Property Assessment
- Implementation of local innovations, public outreach, and inter-office coordination
A panel will deliberate on the assessment results before finalizing official LGU performance scores. This panel consists of representatives from the Bureau of Local Government Finance Regional Office I, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee on Ways and Means, and the president of the Municipal Assessors League of La Union.
The highest-performing municipal offices will receive formal recognition during an awards ceremony for revenue generation partners in November 2026, as mandated by Provincial Ordinance No. 507-2025.
