Street-Level Imaging Project
The need for current property imagery in the appraisal process has never been more critical than in these uncertain times. We have contracted with iLookabout, Inc. to collect street-level images for each property in the county. The project will take place in October and November of this year. iLookabout drivers will be canvassing the county in clearly marked vans with cameras mounted on the roof.

Virtual Property Inspections
To help navigate these uncertain times and to protect the health and safety of property owners and our staff, we are offering the option for virtual inspections in place of an in-person inspection. Inspections are required for properties with recent building permits, recently sold properties or at the request of the property owner to verify a deficiency or condition impacting value.
