Seed Round in 2020
The technology used by governments to valuate homes for property tax assessment is outdated and often inaccurate. The appeal process, which is intended to allow homeowners to contest inaccurate valuations, is expensive, confusing and time-consuming. As a result, homeowners often pay more than their fair share in property taxes. They founded taxProper because they wanted to level the playing field. They believe homeowners shouldn’t pay the price for bad technology, and that the appeals process should be easy and fair. Their appeals software is based on cutting edge machine-learning techniques and generates more accurate valuations, every single time. If a customer is being taxed for more than their house is worth, they automatically generate an appeal using their data, generate the correct paperwork, and file it for you.
