Description
Property Tax Assessment agencies worldwide are under great pressure to deliver high levels of service with fixed financial resources while ensuring their valuation products are accurate and uniform in application. Achieving those goals requires significant gains in efficiency of business systems and processes. LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that calculates distance by measuring with high accuracy the reflection of laser from a target surface. The focus and objective of this presentation is to explain and demonstrate how LiDAR is used to make high resolution maps and can be used in conjunction with a CAMA system to produce more accurate and equitable property assessments. Focused integration of LiDAR and CAMA systems provides rich analysis while delivering functionally powerful workflows. However, this arena is vastly unexplored, and this presentation will present Research and Development project findings on workflow best practices, and provide the audience with next steps in how they can leverage the power and capabilities of combining LiDAR with CAMA.
