Homestead Exemption Fraud Detection

Detect fraudulent claims and create new revenue sources

Detect fraud and boost tax revenues
Local governments lose millions of dollars each year from fraudulent claims for homestead exemption tax relief (also known as property exemption, homeowner’s credit, and school tax relief) because they do not have access to the necessary public records or resources to fully analyze the data in order to detect fraud. LexisNexis® Homestead Exemption Fraud Detection Solution solves these identity-related problems. With access to over 10,000 sources, the LexisNexis Homestead Exemption Fraud Detection solution:

  • Leverages the largest identity data repository bundled with advanced analytics.
  • Helps auditors, assessors, and appraisers to detect fraudulent claims.
  • Identifies potentially millions of dollars in lost revenue in taxes and back taxes owed, as well as creating new revenue sources for years to come.

Benefits
Detect Fraudulent Activity with New Visibility Across Jurisdictions

LexisNexis Homestead Exemption Fraud Detection Solution is an identity solution that helps government agencies detect cases of tax fraud and prioritize accounts, moving jurisdictions one step closer to collecting taxes from individuals who are defrauding the system. With the solution, agencies can run large volumes of homestead exemption tax claims against our vast collection of public and proprietary databases, providing agencies increased visibility across jurisdictions. Using LexID®, our advanced linking technology, this powerful tool isolates and flags probable cases of homestead exemption fraud thoroughly and efficiently.

Detect Fraud and Boost Revenue vs. Lose Revenue and Raise Taxes

Homestead exemption fraud commonly falls into three categories:

  • The taxpayer claims multiple exemptions,
  • The taxpayer claims an exemption on a home that is not his/her primary residence, or
  • The taxpayer is deceased.

Homestead exemption fraud often goes undetected because many government agencies do not have access to the identity information they need for cross-jurisdictional information sharing, or the capability to conduct large-scale data analysis with the data that is available. Over time, the cost of homestead exemption fraud can add up to millions of dollars in lost revenue and result in tax increases that law-abiding residents have to pay. LexisNexis Homestead Exemption Fraud Detection Solution helps agencies to detect fraud and – in a tough economy – boost revenue by potentially millions of dollars, by identifying debtors, rather than raising taxes.
