The Distinguished Research and Development Award recognizes outstanding original research in property assessment, taxation or mass appraisal techniques. Dr. Borst's book, "Improving Mass Appraisal Valuation Models Using Spatio-Temporal Methods," was published in June 2014 and is the first of its kind to combine mass appraisal modeling with a variety of spatial techniques – including his own technique of time-weighted regression.

Dr. Borst has become an expert in his field with more than 40 years' experience with computer-assisted mass appraisal systems. He served as president of the Cole-Layer-Trumble Company, the founding organization of Tyler's Appraisal & Tax Division, where he has worked since 1974. He has authored many articles about market modeling techniques, served as a market modeling consultant in the U.S. and abroad, and has participated as an expert witness in automated valuation model (AVM) methodology disputes.

"Rich's contributions to our company have been invaluable during his many years with Tyler, and we're pleased to see this recognition from such a well-respected organization," said Mark Hawkins, senior vice president of software operations in Tyler's Appraisal & Tax Division. "We will continue to benefit from Rich's research and trailblazing work in the field of appraisal and tax, as will Tyler clients."

IAAO presented the award to Dr. Borst during IAAO's 82nd Annual International Conference on Assessment Administration, conducted in August 2016 in Tampa, Florida. The IAAO awards recognize outstanding achievements in various areas of the property valuation profession.

Founded in 1934, IAAO sets the standards for best practices in mass appraisal and property tax administration.
