Case Study: Carroll County, Iowa discovers $40 million in new value with EagleView imagery

Carroll County Discovers $40 Million in New Value with Pictometry Imagery

Carroll County, Iowa faced a demanding and costly revaluation process for its 7,300 urban residential parcels. To address this, the county's assessor engaged the services of EagleView, then operating under the Pictometry brand, for its aerial imagery and data.

By implementing EagleView's high-resolution imagery, the assessment office was able to measure and analyze properties, which led to the discovery of $40 million in new property value. This resulted in $640,000 of additional tax revenue in the first year, an ROI of 266%, and an estimated $4.8 million over the life of the contract. EagleView's solution also created significant savings by reducing the need for field visits, improving employee safety, and increasing overall efficiency.
