Case Study: Washington County improves rural property assessment and public safety with EagleView

Technology Success for Diverse Properties in Rural Indiana Counties

Washington County, a largely agricultural region in Indiana, faced the challenge of tracking unpermitted new construction and property changes across its vast rural areas, which created liabilities for tax assessment and public safety. To address this, the county partnered with EagleView and utilized its aerial imagery and ChangeFinder change detection data.

EagleView provided the county with critical aerial imagery and analysis, enabling assessors to efficiently identify and confirm undocumented structures, such as new buildings on remote farms. This solution allowed Washington County to conduct fairer property assessments, capture unreported value, and improve situational awareness for public safety and land use planning departments.
