The Challenge

King County is Washington's most populous county, collecting real estate taxes on ~780,000 parcels. At that scale, uncontrolled escrow payments meant overpayments, short payments, double escrow payments, balances already paid, manual posting, and a flood of research calls — hundreds of staff hours lost to refunds and reconciliation.

The Solution

We staged the actual CoreLogic and Wells Fargo payment data on the Autoagent platform for the 2022 1st installment and ran a 100%-accurate "what-if" simulation — proving exactly what Autoagent would have prevented. The results validated requiring all Mass Escrow payments through Autoagent's patented refund-prevention engine, customized to King County's collection rules and statutes.
