Case Study: Dare County achieves $235K in new annual tax revenue with EagleView oblique aerial imagery

How EagleView imagery helped the Dare County Tax Appraisal Department discover $50m in undeclared property value

The Dare County Tax Appraisal Department faced significant challenges conducting property reappraisals, including severe seasonal traffic from tourists that hampered field visits. Furthermore, the department struggled to identify unlisted assets like boats and undeclared vacation rentals. To overcome this, they turned to EagleView and its CONNECTExplorer platform for oblique aerial imagery.

Using EagleView's solution, the department implemented 100% desktop appraisals. Appraisers used the imagery to efficiently discover $50 million in previously unlisted property value, primarily from undervalued vessels. This success added $235,000 in new annual tax revenue for Dare County and fundamentally improved their appraisal process.
