Case Study: Las Animas County boosts property assessment efficiency with EagleView Reveal imagery

How Las Animas County, Colorado, Assessors Became More Efficient Through Technology

Las Animas County, a large rural county in Colorado, faced a significant challenge as its assessor's office experienced a 72% budget cut and staff reduction. With a minimal team, it was nearly impossible to account for new construction across its vast 4,800 square miles, leading to lost tax revenue. The county turned to EagleView and its Reveal imagery to find a solution.

By using EagleView's high-resolution imagery, the assessor's office could remotely identify new structures and changes to properties. This solution led to the discovery of $14 million in new construction value in just three and a half months, a drastic increase from their previous field efforts. The imagery also improved efficiency in handling property assessment protests and was adopted by other county departments, making EagleView an essential tool for the entire local government.
