Buckle up, folks! This session is your crash course in using GIS to make property assessments and appeals less painful (for everyone involved). We will show you how Cuyahoga County used maps to make their reappraisal process more transparent (and less likely to cause a riot). Then, we'll head down south to Bossier Parish to see how they're using GIS to fight property tax appeals like pros.
You will learn how to use maps to explain those pesky assessments to the public, spot wonky valuations before they become a problem, and even win those dreaded appeals. We promise it'll be way more fun than it sounds!
