Case Study: Williamson Central Appraisal District achieves higher tax assessment ROI with EagleView imagery

EagleView Imagery Delivers Unprecedented ROI to Williamson County, Texas

The Williamson Central Appraisal District faced challenges in accurately assessing property values across its 187,000 parcels. The appraisal team spent significant time on the road, often encountering obstacles like locked gates that forced them to make estimations. To solve this, the customer implemented EagleView's Pictometry aerial imagery and software.

EagleView's solution enabled the district to identify previously unreported property features like swimming pools and additions from their desktops, eliminating guesswork. This resulted in the discovery of millions of dollars in additional value, including $2.2 million in taxes from sketch verification and over $200,000 from 350 unaccounted pools. The measurable ROI was immense, reaching 1180% for one tool. Beyond tax assessment, EagleView imagery was also shared with police and fire departments for public safety applications.
