Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA)

Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) is a method used by local governments to estimate the value of properties for taxation purposes. It employs computer technology and statistical models to analyze various property characteristics, such as size, location, and amenities, along with market data. This systematic approach allows assessors to efficiently evaluate many properties at once, ensuring consistency and accuracy in assessments. The resulting property values help determine tax rates and ensure equitable taxation across different properties in a community.
