Any parcel, from anywhere
Inspect residential, commercial, and industrial areas from all angles — without ever setting foot on the ground. With AI-derived insights, you can focus necessary in-person assessments on areas with most taxable changes detected. Our high-resolution aerial imagery is refreshed up to 3x per year, so you’ll have the most current data to assess with confidence.
Quickly identify taxable activity
Compare and contrast our current and historical aerial imagery to detect newly built or removed structures, track construction progress, and see if any permit violations exist. You can also enable change detection at scale using AI datasets for automated object identification. This allows you to easily verify hard-to-see items such as swimming pools, sheds, decks, patios, and more.

Smarter parcel mapping
Our high-resolution aerial imagery enables the creation of precise property parcel maps, accurately delineating boundaries, land use, and ownership. This accuracy helps assessors maintain up-to-date records and conduct thorough evaluations with confidence.
Clear & engaging public communication
With our powerful visualization tools, assessors can generate intuitive maps and reports that effectively communicate property assessments and changes to the public. Enhancing transparency fosters trust and ensures property owners and stakeholders stay informed.

Setting the standard
Accurate property valuation demands precise, current data. The International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) provides guidelines to ensure aerial imagery delivers fair and consistent property assessments as an alternative to on-site inspections. Nearmap imagery exceeds IAAO standards, empowering assessors to remotely analyze property data with certainty.
Low-level oblique imagery
IAAO recommends Oblique imagery that shows four cardinal directions with a minimum 6-inch pixel resolution in urban/suburban and 12-inch pixel resolution in rural areas. The data should be updated every 2 years in rapid-growth areas or 6–10 years in slow-growth areas. Nearmap offers Oblique imagery that visualizes 4-8 directions taken at 3-inch GSD. And we update the data multiple times per year.
