Updating fees and taxes in bulk

Manage your portfolio more efficiently by updating fees and taxes for multiple properties. Bulk edits reduce manual effort, allowing you to add new items or overwrite existing ones across your selected listings in just a few clicks.

Bulk update options

When you start a bulk update, you must choose how the system handles the information:

• Add as new: This option adds the new fees or taxes to the properties. If a property already has an identical fee or tax type, the new values will overwrite the old ones for that specific item.
• Overwrite existing: This option removes all current fees and taxes from the selected properties and replaces them entirely with the new items you define.
