Case Study: Demetris Kelly avoids unexpected property tax surprises with PropLogix

Demetris Kelly avoids $6,700 in back taxes with PropLogix

Demetris Kelly, a homeowner, faced an unexpected financial crisis after discovering her property tax bill was double the disclosed amount and that she owed $6,700 in back taxes due to an omitted parcel of land, a practice known as PIN slamming. She sought help from her local news and the Cook County Recorder of Deeds Fraud Prevention Department. Her title insurance company, which initially denied her claim, was PropLogix.

PropLogix reopened the case after media involvement. While the case study does not detail a specific PropLogix product, the resolution involved a settlement with the property seller and action from the county tax assessor to consolidate the properties and reduce the amount owed. This successful outcome prevented the loss of Kelly's home and resolved the back-tax issue.
