Cache County buys aerial photo services to help property tax valuation

LOGAN — Cache County has purchased a program which will provide aerial images of all the land and buildings in the county.

"We overlay our property boundaries on it so we can look and see which structures are there," Howell said.

The planes will photograph images from various angles to capture the whole valley, said Cary Jenkins, a geographical information systems (GIS) specialist in Development Services. These images will show every side of all the buildings in Cache County.

The county has also purchased online tools from Pictometry to measure buildings using these images, Jenkins said.

Howell said the pictures will help the assessment office gather data, but they will still measure buildings on site.
