The tax deed sale process involves a complex series of steps, including authentication of ownership, notification of parties, confirmation of funds and precise distribution of tax revenues to multiple governmental entities and departments. With numerous legal and financial considerations, the precise administration of this process presents a challenge for county clerks and tax collectors. Now, Hernando County has installed new technology designed specifically to bring efficiency to this complicated and competitive disposition of property.
“We’re excited to now be live on a product that streamlines our tax deed processes,” said Samantha Haun, policy and project specialist for Hernando County. “We required significant financial functionality, and Pioneer and our team worked hand in hand, with both devoting substantial time and effort in the development process. As a result, TaxSmart is a very intuitive and user-friendly product. Pioneer also provided on-site training that assisted staff in quickly adapting to the change in processes. Soon after going live with TaxSmart, we held our first sale, which went very smoothly.”
“We’re very excited to go live with TaxSmart in Hernando County,” said Steve Rumsey, president of Pioneer Technology Group. “There’s tremendous demand by counties, clerks and tax collectors for a comprehensive system to manage tax deed sales and our experience really shows with TaxSmart. It’s the perfect complement to our Landmark Official Records system, and with the high demand for both products from new and existing customers, we’re now actively booking and scheduling installations for both systems in multiple markets.”
