Broward County, the second largest county in Florida, completed its conversion to TaxSys on August 24th. Sue Baldwin, Director of the Records, Taxes and Treasury Division, was very pleased with the smooth transition to TaxSys: "[Grant Street Group's] commitment to customer service is evident in every interaction we had with [their] excellent staff."

The County has also launched a new public site at https://www.broward.county-taxes.com/ where Broward County residents and business owners can search and pay real estate, tangible personal property, and local business taxes. "We are already receiving kudos on our new public access site," continued Ms. Baldwin, "It is a pleasure working with Grant Street!"

Volusia County, the 10th largest county in Florida, went live with TaxSys on October 5th. Volusia's conversion of their real estate, tangible personal property, centrally assessed, and cashiering modules was completed in only four months.

"It has been a real pleasure working with such a professional and ethical company as Grant Street Group during our implementation of TaxSys," said Peggy Flomerfelt, Revenue Director, Volusia County. "The implementation was within budget, on time, and one of the smoothest I've ever witnessed. We have already identified numerous efficiencies!"

Pittsburgh, PA (September 4, 2009) - Today, Grant Street Group unveiled its new Build America Bonds (BABs) electronic auction platform, including a unique option that allows bidders to submit their strongest All-Or-None bid by designating each maturity as either BABs or tax-exempt bonds.

Pittsburgh, PA (September 4, 2009) - Today, Grant Street Group unveiled its new Build America Bonds (BABs) electronic auction platform, including a unique option that allows bidders to submit their strongest All-Or-None bid by designating each maturity as either BABs or tax-exempt bonds.

Issuers using Grant Street Group's bidding platforms -- including MuniAuction^® and other private label web sites powered by Grant Street Group -- now have the flexibility to choose in an All-Or-None award format three methods for conducting their competitive sales of BABs:

1) Allow bids for BABs only;

2) Give underwriters the option to submit either a BABs bid or tax-exempt bid; or

3) Allow underwriters to select a combination of taxable BABs or tax-exempt bonds on a per maturity basis.

Grant Street Group's system performs the necessary calculations to convert the taxable BABs bids to factor in the 35% federal subsidy, thereby giving the issuer and financial advisor the ability to quickly compare the ultimate interest costs associated with each underwriter's bid.

Early market reception for the Build America Bonds program, launched in April 2009, has been very positive, with more than $28 billion BABs sold. "Now, with our novel bidding feature, underwriters can submit their strongest orders for each maturity, whether taxable or tax-exempt, giving issuers complete confidence they received the best overall rates for their bonds," said John Carver, Director of Auction Operations at Grant Street Group.

     Pittsburgh, PA (May 11, 2009) - This month, Broward County and Pinellas County will begin using Grant Street Group's LienAuction^® software to conduct online tax certificate sales.

     Pittsburgh, PA (May 11, 2009) — This month, Broward County and Pinellas County will begin using Grant Street Group's LienAuction^™ software to conduct online tax certificate sales. Broward and Pinellas Counties join the 14 tax collectors in Arizona, Florida, and Maryland who have used LienAuction to sell more than $2.4 Billion in tax certificates.

Broward County, the second largest county in Florida with one of the largest tax certificate sales in the country, launched the web site www.BidBroward.com on April 15th. In prior years, the County held the tax certificate sale in person — which required a great deal of time, effort, and County resources, and limited the number of bidders who could attend. Polly Cacurak, Operations Manager of Broward County Revenue Collection, noted that it's not only the County that will benefit from online auctions: "In addition to improving our sale, LienAuction will result in tremendous savings to the taxpayer." Broward's first online auction opened on May 5th, and will close on May 27th.

Pinellas County, the sixth largest county in Florida, launched the web site www.BidPinellas.com on May 1st. While the County has previously auctioned certificates online, the tax collector's office chose to transition to LienAuction because of the integration with TaxSys^®, Grant Street Group's web-based tax collection and billing system. "Strategically, using LienAuction made a great deal of sense. It ties right in with TaxSys, and by using Grant Street Group for all our tax collection software we saved a great deal of taxpayer dollars," said Diane Nelson, Pinellas County Tax Collector. Pinellas will open its first auction on May 15th, and close on June 1st.

BidBroward.com and BidPinellas.com provide bidders with a variety of training tools, including self demos, trial auctions, and guided demos. The lists of unpaid taxes will be available both online and in local papers: Broward County's listing will be published on three separate occasions in the Daily Business Review beginning on May 5th, and Pinellas County's listing will be available starting on May 15th.

About Grant Street Group

Grant Street Group (www.GrantStreet.com) has been supplying Software as a Service (SaaS) to over 2,000 government entities and financial institutions since 1997. In 2003, we began developing innovative web-based revenue collection software especially for Florida Tax Collectors, including our state-of-the-art tax collection and billing system - TaxSys^®. Our hosted web applications have been used to process financial transactions, principally revenue collection and auctions of debt instruments, exceeding $10 trillion.

Pittsburgh, PA (March 27, 2009) - Today, Grant Street Group announced the successful launch of three new online services that are fully integrated with TaxSys^®, Grant Street's state-of-the-art, web-based revenue collection and distribution system. These new services - DeedExpress^™, EscrowExpress^™, and FRVISexpress^™ - are online tools that radically simplify certain administrative tasks involving third parties.

Pittsburgh, PA (March 27, 2009) - Today, Grant Street Group announced the successful launch of three new online services that are fully integrated with TaxSys^®, Grant Street's state-of-the-art, web-based revenue collection and distribution system. These new services - DeedExpress^™, EscrowExpress^™, and FRVISexpress^™ - are online tools that radically simplify certain administrative tasks involving third parties.

DeedExpress^™ is an online tax deed application service that allows tax collectors to automate the tax deed application process from end-to-end (i.e., from generating estimates to printing 512 and 513 Forms). With DeedExpress, tax certificate holders can go online to estimate and apply for tax deeds with minimal staff involvement.

St. Lucie County Tax Collector Bob Davis inaugurated DeedExpress in early 2008. Assistant Tax Collector Larry Clancy commented: "In addition to working well the software accomplished its intended purpose - to save a great deal of time."

Pinellas County, now using DeedExpress for the 2009 tax deed cycle, has experienced similar efficiencies. In the words of Chief Deputy Tax Collector Charles Thomas, by using DeedExpress, "the time to process approximately 2,000 cost estimates for a single tax certificate holder was reduced from 3 man weeks to 27 minutes."

TaxSys and DeedExpress customers enjoy a number of additional conveniences as a result of the integration between the two systems. For example, there were no cumbersome data downloads or interfaces between two different applications supplied by two different vendors. Using both TaxSys and DeedExpress, tax collectors can manage the entire tax deed process seamlessly and effortlessly.

Citrus, Okaloosa, and Osceola Counties are also currently using DeedExpress.

EscrowExpress^™, the first online escrow tax payment processing system in Florida, revolutionizes the process by providing escrow companies, tax paying agents, and tax collectors up-to-date, synchronized information from a central web portal, which eliminates the burdensome practice of exchanging multiple files or CDs and the need for the tax collectors' staff to identify and correct account and data errors.

With EscrowExpress, escrow companies and tax paying agents simply go online to download their account files and the entire tax roll and then upload their request files and payment files. Data uploaded to EscrowExpress integrates seamlessly with TaxSys, allowing escrow companies and agents access to up-to-the-minute account information and quickly alerting them of any errors or changes in their account data. In the words of Justin Gordon, a Tax Analyst in the Okaloosa County Tax Collector's Office, "Users are extremely happy with how easy it is for them to go on and submit their request file."

As of September 15, 2008, Tax Collectors Chris Hughes of Okaloosa County and Diane Nelson of Pinellas County initiated pilot EscrowExpress programs. "Online escrow payment file processing with Grant Street Group's new EscrowExpress system was a significant improvement in our customer service, and a relief from the frustrations we experienced with the outdated mainframe processing system," noted Ms. Nelson. "This innovation has improved our business methodology, streamlined our services, and minimized errors."

Since the pilot period began, 19 escrow companies and tax paying agents have used EscrowExpress to process and pay $466 million in taxes for 182,707 properties.

FRVISexpress^™ is a unique system integrated with TaxSys that allows vehicle and vessel cashiering information to be sent to and received from the State of Florida's Division of Motor Vehicle's Florida Real Time Information System (FRVIS). Tax collectors can cashier state related FRVIS transactions (such as annual vehicle registration renewals) directly in TaxSys along with any additional types of transactions (e.g., Real Estate Tax, Local Business Tax, Tourist Development Tax, etc.) that the customer wishes to pay. Once the transaction is complete, the state-related FRVIS transaction is automatically marked as paid in full in the State's FRVIS database.

FRVISexpress gives tax collectors the flexibility to effectively operate with a "universal" cashiering system that supports multiple types of customer transactions.

Tax Collector Chris Hughes of Okaloosa County was the first to launch FRVISexpress in January 2009. To date, the County has successfully cashiered over 22,000 FRVIS transactions in TaxSys using FRVISexpress. Following the successful launch in Okaloosa County, Citrus County began using FRVISexpress in March, and Highlands County will begin using the system in April.

DeedExpress, EscrowExpress, and FRVISexpress are currently available to all Florida counties using TaxSys.

Pittsburgh, PA (Monday, January 19, 2009) Today Grant Street Group, the company which pioneered online auctions of fixed income securities unveiled its newly redesigned corporate web site, http://www.grantstreet.com.

The updated site reflects some of Grant Street Group's fastest growing areas of business, including TaxSys^®, the nation's first web-based tax collection and billing system, which now serves approximately 25% of Florida's population.

While tried and true auction and bidding processes will remain the same, the new Grant Street Group web site has a number of features designed to make clients' online experience easier.

The new design offers many enhancements to the current navigation. A tabbed menu makes the site easier to navigate. Standard headers and footers across all pages keep vital links at visitors' fingertips. And a new sortable table feature on the auction Calendar, Results, and Replays pages lets visitors quickly sort information by date, amount, site and other custom parameters.

In addition to the revised navigation, each page now features a customized search engine, which searches the entirety of the redesigned site, including the Auction Calendar, Auction Results, Documentation, and News pages.

The new design also provides more information about Grant Street Group's Software as a Service (SaaS) and revenue collection platforms, such as: TaxSys^®, a tax collection and billing system; DeedExpress^™, a tax deed application system; and EscrowExpress^™, a web-based escrow payment processing system that provides tax collectors with a central web site to receive payments from escrow companies and tax paying agents.

"With our new design, we have achieved our goals of updating our site's look and feel, and reorganizing our content as a result of the new services we now provide, like TaxSys," said Myles Harrington, President of Grant Street Group. "We believe our clients and visitors to our site will benefit from these changes."
