What Government Utilities Technology Service does

Government Utilities Technology Service, Inc. (GUTS) is a privately held, family-owned software and services company founded in 2003 by Eric Goodnight and headquartered in Lebanon, Indiana. The company provides cloud-based property tax, assessment, and CAMA (Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal) software, plus related professional and managed IT services, to county, city, and school-district government offices in Indiana and Kentucky. Its flagship platform, PVDNet, is an integrated suite of eAssessor, eAuditor, and eTreasurer modules delivered via the cloud with role-based security, Web API data exchange, ad hoc reporting, and parcel-level photo/document management. The newer Properly Tax Solutions product line (Properly Tax Collections, View Tax Search, delinquent/tax sale modules) is positioned as the cloud-delivered successor to the legacy PVDCollect application and is actively being rolled out to sheriff's offices.

GUTS monetizes through a mix of recurring software subscriptions (PVDNet, Properly, Paper Tracker, InspectHD), managed IT services (99.999% uptime guarantee), and professional services including property tax bill printing and mailing (~1.5 million bills annually), tax sale management, assessment consulting, and custom application/website development. Pricing is custom and quote-based, billed annually, with no public price list. The company goes to market through a small direct field-sales team (Chad McDonald, Greg Jordan) supported by an active conference presence at 7+ named industry associations (Kentucky PVA, Kentucky Sheriff's, ICAA, ICTA, KACo, County Clerks, Indiana Environmental Health), an Insights Blog, and LinkedIn. Its partnership ecosystem — EagleView (aerial imagery), Esri (GIS), DocuWare (document management), Sturgis/PayPal (payments), Expedient (hosting), DocuWare, Blue Grass Integrated Communications, Magiktech, and others — extends platform capabilities without in-house build-out.

The company serves 95 county PVA offices in Kentucky (following a 2024 26-county expansion with the Kentucky Department of Revenue), partners with 110+ Kentucky counties for assessment and tax collections, processes tax bills for nearly 90 Kentucky offices, and maintains a portfolio of Indiana county customers (assessors, auditors, treasurers, sheriffs, health departments). Multiple customer relationships span 15-20+ years, including Madison County KY Sheriff, Johnson County KY PVA, and Mercer County KY Sheriff, with the company holding registered trademarks for PVDNet, Properly, Paper Tracker, and InspectHD. The firm operates with 11-50 employees, no external funding, and no parent company, and is currently expanding its addressable market into the County Clerk and Health Department verticals.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Technologies: Public company and dominant broad incumbent in government property/CAMA software through iCAMA (formerly iasWorld) and the broader Tyler Property Tax suite. Competes with GUTS for large county assessments and bundled public-sector deals; its scale and capital make it the principal strategic threat.
• CivicPlus: Broad incumbent in local-government software (websites, citizen engagement, permitting, payments). Overlaps with GUTS in the county-buyer relationship and increasingly in online tax/payment experiences adjacent to View Tax Search.
• Granicus: Broad incumbent in government technology spanning communications, records, and now tax/permitting workflows via acquisitions. Adjacent overlap with GUTS's tax and citizen-facing government solutions.

Direct peers

• Aumentum Technologies (CentralSquare): Direct competitor providing CAMA, tax billing, and assessment software to county governments. After merging into CentralSquare, it bundles property tax with broader public-sector ERP — directly overlapping with PVDNet and Properly Tax Solutions in counties like GUTS's Indiana/Kentucky base.
• Schneider Geospatial (SGS): Provides property assessment and tax software for county assessors, with comparable CAMA and parcel-management functionality. Competes with GUTS for county-level assessment RFPs in the Midwest and other regions.
• Pioneer Technology Group: Vendor of CAMA, tax billing, and property assessment solutions for county governments. Directly comparable product set to GUTS's PVDNet and Properly Tax Solutions, serving a similar county-assessor buyer.
• Vision Government Solutions: Provides CAMA and property assessment software to municipal and county assessors. Closely comparable to PVDNet in target customer (local assessing officials), core CAMA functionality, and delivery model.
• Vanguard Appraisals: Specializes in property assessment services and CAMA software for county governments — directly comparable to GUTS's assessment-services practice and PVDNet's eAssessor module.
• enCode Plus: Provider of CAMA and property tax software for county and municipal assessors. Closely comparable to GUTS's PVDNet and tax-billing functionality in workflow and customer base.

Emerging players

• TrueRoll: Emerging software vendor focused on property tax administration for counties and municipalities. Partial overlap with Properly Tax Solutions in cloud-based tax collection workflows, but at a much earlier stage and narrower footprint.
