Abstract:
The Maricopa County Assessor’s Office sponsored a feasibility study to determine whether photography captured by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) would have a net positive effect on ad valorem property appraisal. The Office selected the appeals season in calendar year 2017 as the best opportunity to capture drone-borne photographs and determine the successes and challenges that the use of such a tool might present.
