Property Tax Data Products
Smarter closings with accurate fees
Give borrowers the right numbers, up front
Let's set your loans up for success. We believe the path to borrower trust and smooth closings begins with getting the numbers right from day one. We are here to empower and guide you in delivering that clarity and consistency every time.
To streamline your workflow, we give you two powerful, decisive tools. Just choose the right one for the job:
Need to estimate? Choose Property Tax Estimator (PTE).
PTE is our flagship solution for complex situations like new construction or "TBD" property addresses. It includes all PTB features and adds our proprietary estimation engine, providing a reliable tax amount for virtually any address, even when data isn't found.
Need known data? Choose Property Tax Basic (PTB).
PTB is your precise, rapid solution for properties with a known tax history. It’s ideal for speed when handling refinance or servicing, providing fast and accurate actual property tax data for existing properties. Both products offer delinquency versions, so you are instantly empowered with prior-year payment status history to manage risk proactively.
Guarantee full coverage
Our Property Tax Estimator (PTE) uses its proprietary estimation engine to help ensure you have a tax figure for every scenario, including new construction and TBD property addresses. This means you never miss an opportunity.
Earn borrower trust
Providing an accurate Loan Estimate minimizes changes to escrow and eliminates closing surprises. This consistency builds confidence from day one, and the PTE solution helps reduce costly redisclosures.
Accelerate loan movement
Dramatically cut the time spent on tax procurement. Both products automate data retrieval, delivering answers in seconds and freeing up your team to focus on core origination tasks.
