About TrueRoll™
A revolutionary approach to homestead exemption audits
TrueRoll was founded in 2018 with the goal of improving property tax accuracy by empowering governments with data science and automation. TrueRoll works with more than 80 government offices in 10+ states to help modernize their homestead monitoring processes, improve compliance, return millions of dollars in revenue, and save office staff time. We have achieved the highest recognition in our industry, having been named chair of an IAAO Standards Committee, and landing on the GovTech’s Top 100 list of companies making a difference in government 3 years in a row.
Our team is made up of data science PhD’s, government property tax professionals, masters in computer science, educators, certified investigators, journalists, and economists with decades of experience working directly with governments to solve difficult administrative challenges.
TrueRoll’s proprietary algorithms and datasets actively monitor millions of our customers’ homesteads for actionable changes in eligibility. This approach to homestead eligibility monitoring has introduced a new paradigm to the way governments audit their tax rolls; jurisdictions are no longer dependent on reactionary, commission-based, single-point-in-time audits to improve tax roll accuracy.
As soon as a homestead property gets listed for rent, becomes a duplicate homestead, files for a change of address, becomes vacant, or experiences other disqualifying events, government offices are alerted to modify their homestead record or notify the citizens of their eligibility change. This saves time, generates new money for your jurisdiction, and improves service for your citizens. TrueRoll can also help identify property owners who are qualified for homestead benefits, but are not claiming them.
TrueRoll’s delivery methodology is flexible. We deliver a fraud discovery solution that includes our self-service case management software via www.trueroll.app. However, if your team is tight on resources, our certified investigation team can actively identify homesteads for removal based on your office’s specific requirements via our “Full Service” and “Assisted Service” offerings.
TrueRoll guarantees our results. Visit www.trueroll.io to set up a demo, learn more about our proactive monitoring approach, and work with a member of our staff to build your ROI case to present to your team.
We’re looking forward to helping your office learn more about Proactive Homestead Monitoring™.
