TaxProper

Seed Round in 2020
TaxProper Inc. is a Chicago-based company that develops advanced property tax calculation solutions aimed at assisting homeowners with property tax assessments and appeals. Recognizing that traditional government methods for home valuation are often outdated and imprecise, TaxProper utilizes cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to provide more accurate property valuations. Homeowners can enter details about their properties to determine if they are overpaying on taxes. If an overvaluation is identified, TaxProper's platform automatically generates and files the necessary appeal paperwork, streamlining a process that is typically expensive and confusing.
