Manage manual appraisals

Appraisals can be entered manually if your office doesn't use CAMA's integrated appraisal system or allows manual appraisals. When entering a manual appraisal, you'll provide the class code, the lot, acre, and building count, and the land and building appraisal values. The system will then calculate the total appraised value.

After the appraisal is entered, you can apply or remove any modifiers.

Note: Manual appraisals do not display in appraisal search results and are only editable from the Assessments tab on the parcel record.
