Lens for property assessment

As local government agencies are being asked to do more with less, property assessors face mounting pressure to complete site visits, verify land use, and monitor changes—all while balancing limited staff and shrinking resources.

That’s where Lens can help. By combining powerful remote monitoring tools with readily available public data, Lens helps assessment teams reduce in-field visits, improve accuracy, and reclaim hundreds of hours historically spent on site inspections.

Access historical and high-resolution property imagery

Lens aggregates dozens of imagery sources—so when it comes time to see what a property looked like last week or 15 years ago, you have the imagery you need without relying on a single imagery source. With no to low minimum order sizing and flexible capture dates, you can purchase high-resolution images as needed.  

It’s difficult to determine agricultural use in the field or without imagery captured over multiple seasons. With Lens, you can use public imagery to quickly see year-long trends in seconds. Using our public, weekly imagery sources, you can understand the full history of an agricultural parcel and reduce disputes by not relying on only a single datapoint or site visit.

Commercial data with no to low order minimums

With a wide range of resolution options, you can choose the best image for the question you’re needing to answer. When looking for  finer details, Lens users can access 15cm resolution imagery for unmatched clarity and more precise analysis and insights. This is particularly valuable for tax assessors as it offers granular property details such as infrastructure and land use changes. Ideal for critical decision-making, the imagery is available in Lens now for just $1 per acre. Don’t need the highest resolution? Choose from our other sources that cost just a few cents per acre.
