Assessor proposes new CAMA system, two positions and expanded DMV services

Assessor Rebecca Arnold said the assessor's office is pursuing a multi‑year implementation of a new CAMA/Grama system to modernize property records and appraisal workflows. She said $4.5 million was originally earmarked for implementation, with approximately $1 million of annual licensing costs expected; current estimates put implementation costs about $723,000 under that cap. Arnold asked for two positions to support the transition: a commercial appraiser and an operational project analyst; she said about 78% of those personnel costs will be recovered via revenue sources cited in the packet.
