Patriot Properties is pleased to announce our newest customer from Virginia, the City of Petersburg.

Petersburg was originally known as Peter's Point. The settlement was granted its first charter as a town on December 17, 1748. In 1850, the town of Petersburg was consolidated with the nearby settlements of Blandford, Pocahontas, and Ravenscroft to become a City, the third in Virginia. The City is well known for the Battle of the Crater when Union troops attempted to tunnel under Confederate lines with disastrous results. The seige of Petersburg precipitated Lee's surrender and the end of the war. Today, the City retains established manufacturing and tourism based industries. It is conveniently located for manufacturers which distribute their products on the east Coast.

The City will be converting to Patriot’s Appraisal and Assessment package which will replace a system they have had in house since 1980. The upgrade to AssessPro will help streamline the Assessor’s office. One major benefit is using a tablet/laptop out in the field to collect data to eliminate double date entry. Patriot is excited to add Petersburg to our other four installations in the State of Virginia.
