The Maricopa County Assessor’s Office has launched a new technology system to manage the $1.8 million real estate assessments processed by our team each year. The new system is called AA-GAMA (Assessment Analyst-Geographic Assisted Mass Appraisal.) It is a cloud-based system designed to be more efficient, faster, and easier to use. The AA-GAMA system has increased reporting capabilities, provides easier access to historical information, and is more secure than previous systems.
