Deckard Technologies provides city and county governments the analytics and insights they need to ensure tax fairness and equity in their jurisdictions by recovering mandated property and transient occupancy taxes. Using AI and a massive data collection, the Deckard platform performs analysis of hundreds-of-millions of images and data points, giving local governments greater visibility into the commercialization of residential neighborhoods. Deckard’s partnership with local communities saves them time and money, increases productivity, and enables them to make informed policy decisions while determining their own thresholds for the sharing economy. The recovered taxes support the common good, including essential services like schools, infrastructure, fire departments, and safety, in the local communities.
