Smarter property assessments with AI and aerial imagery
Explore how high-resolution aerial imagery and AI helps assessors recover lost revenue, reduce field visits and improve valuation accuracy.
Keeping up with property changes is tough, especially with limited staff and outdated records. Missed new construction, demolitions and parcel modifications cost local governments valuable tax revenue. Traditional field inspections are slow and resource intensive, making it harder for assessors to track taxable properties accurately. Aerial imagery and artificial intelligence provide a better way. These tools help assessors monitor properties remotely, identify taxable activity and ensure fair, accurate valuations — all without extra fieldwork. Real-time parcel updates, precise mapping and historical imagery make assessments more efficient and defendable, improving transparency and public trust. Outdated records and manual inspections make tracking taxable properties difficult. Aerial imagery and AI deliver real-time updates on parcel changes, new construction and valuation shifts all from the office.
Industry experts share real-world applications, adoption challenges and the future of AI in property assessment. They will also discuss how AI and aerial imagery are improving property assessments, helping assessors work smarter, increase efficiency and ensure fair, accurate taxation.
