For title agencies, lenders & data providers

Every property’s complete tax picture — through one API.

The full, itemized tax status for any parcel — assessments, millage line items, special assessments, and current balances — delivered in real time. The data your closings depend on, without sending people to a thousand county websites.

The problem

Property tax data is public by law — but in practice it’s scattered across thousands of county and municipal systems, each with its own format and quirks. To assemble a complete tax status for a single property today, agencies pay people to retrieve it by hand, one parcel at a time. It’s slow, error-prone, and the overhead lands on the homeowner at closing.

What you get

  • Itemized tax detail — every taxing authority and its millage rate
  • Valuations — assessed, taxable, and state equalized values; PRE status; school district
  • Special assessments — line items and balances
  • Current status — paid, unpaid, or delinquent
  • Per parcel, on demand — query by address or parcel ID, structured JSON back

How it works

Send an address or parcel ID; get a clean, structured response with the complete tax picture — ready to drop into your closing, underwriting, or verification workflow. No portals, no manual lookups, no reconciling a dozen formats. Access is by API key, with usage that scales to your volume.

Coverage (18 counties)

Live in Michigan today and expanding county by county. Tell us the jurisdictions you close in and we’ll prioritize lighting them up — coverage follows demand, not the other way around.

Why we exist

The records the law made public were meant to protect the people who pay for them. Getting at that data shouldn’t be a toll road. TaxStatus makes property tax records as accessible as they were always supposed to be — directly, completely, and affordably — so the cost of opacity stops landing on homeowners.

The data is the municipality’s — we consolidate

All parcel and tax information originates from county and municipal assessor and treasurer systems. We don’t generate or alter it; we normalize it into one consistent response and link back to the authoritative source on every result.

Tell us where you close — we’ll light it up.
