CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (March 19, 2019) — Every dollar matters today in our communities. It’s time to make sure every dollar counts when we pay our local taxes. It’s time for Localgov.
The latest innovation from a proven Chicago IT-firm that specializes in helping municipalities, Localgov turns local tax-collection into an opportunity to invest in a better future, with a stronger set of local services and programs that helps support small businesses and promotes a sense of community.
Communities around Illinois are using Localgov to make it easier than ever to collect local sales and other tax dollars. When residents visit restaurants and retail stores and spend their hard-earned dollars, they expect the taxes they pay are collected and distributed properly. But too often, those tax dollars can fall through the cracks.
Localgov offers communities many benefits:
- Less hassle with more benefits — No more local tax collections with frustrating reporting processes and delays. Localgov’s smooth online interface eliminates needless paperwork, makes it easy to submit tax payments for many local taxes, and ensures proper compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws;
- Accountability through detailed data — Localgov’s sophisticated tracking ensures local tax data can be mobilized for success. Mayors are using Localgov to identify local businesses who might be struggling a bit lately, based on sales or other tax receipts. Instead of watching those struggles worsen, city officials work with businesses on new strategies to improve performance, and use Localgov to gauge the success of their renewed coordination;
- Building hope and trust for your community — Communities succeed when leaders and their constituents are on the same page. Localgov strengthens communication and community by identifying tax-collection errors and loopholes, fixing them easily, and providing the support infrastructure to troubleshoot problems and learn from others who want the same assurance they are managing finances properly.
From the south suburbs of Chicago to deep southern Illinois, communities large and small are turning to Localgov as a one-stop shop for local tax-collection management.
“Every day, our Localgov software and support team is helping communities take care of the little things and making a big difference for their residents and businesses,” said Thain Humphrey, Product Manager of Localgov. “Taxpayers deserve to know their tax money is going where it is intended. Local businesses deserve to know they can turn in local tax revenues with little hassle and full accountability. Communities deserve to know the monies they have budgeted for police and fire protection, street and sewer maintenance, and other critical services and programs will be there when they are needed.
Localgov is a full partner to meet all of these needs. We help you find and collect tax revenue better, speed up payments and track the results. We empower local governments to build stronger communities, one local tax dollar at a time.”
Localgov is currently seeking new communities in Illinois to partner with in its initial rollout. For more information, visit http://localgov.org/.
