Cleveland Akron, OH, September 3, 2026 — Cuyahoga County has initiated a project to capture detailed street-level imagery and spatial data across the entire county. This effort aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of property appraisals and reassessments.

The county is employing specialized vehicles from Cyclomedia, a company known for its geospatial data solutions. These vehicles are equipped to capture high-resolution, 360-degree street-level imagery. In addition to visual data, the technology also collects mobile LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. LiDAR uses pulsed laser light to measure distances to the Earth, creating precise 3D representations of the environment.

This comprehensive data collection is intended to provide county assessors with a more detailed and current understanding of properties. Such data is crucial for ensuring fair and accurate property valuations, which form the basis for property tax assessments. The use of advanced imaging and LiDAR technology is expected to streamline the reassessment process, which can be complex and labor-intensive.

The specific timeline for the completion of the data capture across the county was not provided. Furthermore, details regarding the specific contractors involved in the data processing or integration stages, beyond the use of Cyclomedia vehicles, were not made available.

The project’s scope covers the entirety of Cuyahoga County. The acquired imagery and LiDAR data will be utilized by the county’s appraisal department to inform official property valuations. Officials anticipate that this technological approach will lead to more up-to-date and reliable appraisal records.
