PLANO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today it has acquired Safeground Analytics, a company providing exemplary real estate appraisals and assessments for states, counties, and municipalities. Safeground brings an experienced team of appraisers, analysts, statisticians, economists, computer scientists, and assessors to provide residential and commercial reassessments, bolstering Tyler’s existing appraisal services business.
“Tyler has been the leader in the appraisal market for more than 80 years, and we remain committed to strengthening our service offerings in this space,” said Mark Hawkins, president of Tyler’s Property & Recoding Division. “Safeground has been our partner on numerous valuation projects over the years, and we continue to be impressed by the company’s strong client retention, their deep appraisal experience – particularly with complex commercial properties – and their commitment to supporting the education and training of assessors.

Since 2015, Tyler has worked with Safeground on multifaceted valuation projects in New England and is currently contracting its services for three county-wide commercial reassessments in Delaware.
