What Just Appraised does
Our goal is to empower local government employees with the tools, technology, and support they need so they can deliver exceptional service to their taxpayers and feel proud of the work they do for their communities. We contribute by building software to streamline local government tax assessors’ workflows using AI. Specifically, we streamline the change of ownership process for real estate and create more seamless ways for tax offices to communicate digitally with their taxpayers. For instance, when properties get bought and sold, local governments have to process reams of paper in order to update their systems and perform the analyses necessary to update the tax roll. Our software makes this process 10x faster and much more enjoyable for employees in the tax office to complete, and creates trust and goodwill in the minds of taxpayers.

Software for local governments
We build software specifically for local government tax assessors to speed up and simplify the change of ownership process for real estate. Our product digitizes what is otherwise a slow, paper-heavy workflow when properties are bought and sold. We use AI to analyze documents and automate updates to tax rolls, making the process roughly 10x faster and easier for tax office employees and improving communication with taxpayers.
We live in Palo Alto, CA, and the company is based here with a remote team distributed across the U.S. Post-YC, we would continue to be based in Palo Alto with a mix of remote work.
Palo Alto gives us proximity to a strong tech talent pool and YC's network. Our customers are spread across local governments nationwide, so having a flexible remote team helps us support them effectively.
