Powerful web-based application enables assessors to easily identify data inconsistencies and valuation errors

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah— 2023 IAAO Annual Conference —August 27, 2023—Esri Canada today announced the launch of Assessment Analyst® ValueIT, a powerful visualization and analytic application that revolutionizes property assessment by providing clarity and control over the accuracy of assessment values. With AA ValueIT, assessors can confidently determine if assessments meet local or state standards by leveraging the full potential of computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) data within a geographic information system (GIS) environment. The application expands the capabilities of Assessment Analyst®, Esri Canada’s powerful software suite that enhances assessments by geo-enabling property data.

Accurate property assessment values are crucial for ensuring fair taxation and maintaining trust in the assessment process. However, identifying inconsistencies and errors in property valuations has been a persistent challenge. AA ValueIT addresses this issue head-on by offering advanced visualization and analytic tools that enable assessors to pinpoint data inconsistencies and valuation errors with ease.

"We’re excited to introduce AA ValueIT, a game-changer in the property assessment industry," said Brian Smith, industry and product manager, Assessment at Esri Canada. "This application provides assessors with the necessary tools to visualize, analyze and validate assessment values, helping them make informed decisions and achieve fair and accurate property assessments. With AA ValueIT, assessors can now take control of the assessment process like never before."

Key benefits of using AA ValueIT:

Time Savings and Efficiency: AA ValueIT efficiently handles large datasets, saving assessors valuable time. It consolidates data from multiple sources and presents it through an intuitive interface with insightful dashboards, enabling efficient data analysis and informed decision-making.

Enhanced Compliance: By using GIS-based data visualization, AA ValueIT swiftly identifies geographical areas that meet local or state appraisal standards. This feature ensures assessors adhere to regulatory requirements.

Deeper Insights: AA ValueIT empowers assessors to isolate individual properties and evaluate their impact on the overall quality of the assessment roll. This in-depth analysis provides valuable insights into specific property valuations, leading to improved accuracy and fairness in assessments.
