Land Value Maps/Scapes

Along with Imaging software, great strides have been made in "seeing" land values through GIS-generated mapping. Here, CSE Director Dr. Bill Batt explains the importance of land values in assessment and how images can make clear the muddy universe of real property assessments. Much of the mapping work was performed by Bob Breglio, MRP of New York State.
