The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Oct. 15 regular meeting to approve funding for a company to obtain multiple-angle images of the county for the benefit of the Tax Assessors Office.
The contract with Pictometry International Corporation is for two flights, the first of which took place in 2016. With this new funding — $129,805 to be paid out in three installments — a second flight will be scheduled for January or February of 2020. The deal also includes technology that will compare building outlines on the two flights and report changes in building structures.
The 2016 flight and its building outlines helped add more than $5 million in annual fair market value to the tax digest, according to county officials.
