Property assessment has traditionally been a complex and resource-consuming process for tax departments, but new tools are changing that.

Geographic information systems (GIS) and aerial imagery enables users to remotely examine complete residential, commercial, and industrial areas from all angles. This means assessment teams can inspect parcels to identify new taxable activity without ever setting foot at the location.

The benefits of GIS and high-resolution aerial imagery for computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) systems go beyond just being able to view the parcel boundary. Assessors achieve easier desktop reviews, better turnaround time on each assessment, and improved accuracy in evaluating a property.
