Cuyahoga County Updating Property Photos

Over the next six to ten weeks (from Early September until October), the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office through our contractor Cyclomedia will update exterior photographs of properties and parcels throughout Cuyahoga County as part of our ongoing efforts to maintain current and accurate information. Our residents may see contractor vehicles operating in neighborhoods and communities countywide as the project progresses. The vehicles will look like this:

Cyclomedia Technologies, Inc., the contractor working on behalf of Cuyahoga County, will operate vehicles with mounted cameras that will photograph property exteriors from public streets, and in very limited cases, driveways. All images containing identifiable faces or license plates will be blurred to protect privacy. This is similar to how Google Street View vehicles currently operate.

The images collected will help to document the overall condition of properties, streets and roads, and will become part of the official property record. The images will be used by the Fiscal Office to make the valuation process more efficient.

All Cyclomedia vehicles deployed to collect images for this initiative will be clearly marked with Cyclomedia logos. In addition, contractors working in the field will carry photo identification along with a letter of authorization from Cuyahoga County.
