Agricultural Parcel Analysis can be used to visualize agricultural parcel characteristics, define various appraisal units, and understand soil composition.
Local assessors have a statutory responsibility to discover, list, and value agricultural  parcels. Since most agricultural parcels are assessed according to their size, land use, and soil type, a comparable sales approach is not appropriate. Historically, the assessor’s computer aided mass appraisal (CAMA) system has been the primary source of property assessment information in a local government. However, these tabular systems make it difficult to visualize spatial patterns, analyze the impact of soil type and land use, and measure the overall productivity (and ultimately value) of agricultural  parcels. To ensure agricultural parcels are valued in a fair and equitable way, assessors need a simple way to visualize agricultural parcel characteristics and delineate parcels with varying land use and soil type.
The Agricultural Parcel Analysis solution delivers a set of capabilities that help local governments to visualize agricultural parcel characteristics, define various appraisal units, and understand soil composition.
