Tax Appeal Plus has launched publicly as the first purpose-built software designed specifically for high-volume property tax professionals, offering a solution to simplify and scale operations while eliminating dependency on spreadsheets and disjointed systems. The platform represents a significant advancement for an industry that has long struggled with time-consuming administrative work and inefficient processes.
Founded in 2005 by Erik Wind, former President of GeoData Plus, Tax Appeal Plus has quietly powered firms handling hundreds to thousands of property tax appeals annually for nearly two decades. Wind brings almost three decades of property tax experience to the platform, having previously built GeoData Plus into a company that was acquired by ATTOM Data Solutions, one of the largest property data firms in the country, in a multi-million dollar private sale in 2021.
"Having done the work myself from the ground up, I know how bogged down the best firms are by chasing signatures, piecing together documents, and doing what I call 'arts and crafts,'" said Wind, Founder and CEO of Tax Appeal Plus. "I knew there was a better way to help high-volume firms simplify and scale."
The software directly addresses industry pain points by providing an all-in-one, cloud-based platform that manages the entire appeals process from intake to invoicing. For decades, high-volume property tax appeal firms have faced challenges with systems that don't integrate with tax assessor data or synchronize information across platforms, often leaving professionals "drowning in spreadsheets."
Tax Appeal Plus has already filed over 200,000 appeals for high-volume firms, demonstrating its capacity to handle significant caseloads. The platform streamlines the end-to-end lifecycle of property tax appeals, eliminating the need for professionals to hop between separate billing systems, document managers, and filing tools.
Adam Heller, President of Heller & Consultants Tax Grievance, attested to the platform's impact: "Tax Appeal Plus completely changed the game for my tax grievance business. Prior to Tax Appeal Plus, we were manually drafting legal forms, invoices, and more. Now, at the push of a button, it handles my entire business and has catapulted our firm to one of the largest in New York State. No one does it better."
Marsha Held, President at Property Tax Adjusters, LTD, added, "Tax Appeal Plus has allowed our company to grow at a rapid rate. Erik has an incredible grasp of our industry. His knowledge and experience are unparalleled."
The launch matters because it addresses fundamental inefficiencies in the property tax appeal industry that have persisted for decades. By providing a unified platform that handles the entire appeals process, Tax Appeal Plus enables firms to scale operations more efficiently, potentially leading to cost savings that could be passed to property owners. The software's ability to streamline document preparation, appeal filing, and invoicing in one secure system represents a significant step toward modernizing an industry that has traditionally relied on manual processes.
Tax Appeal Plus is available immediately for property tax firms throughout the United States. More information about the platform can be found at https://www.taxappealplus.com.
