AAMS™ (Assessment Appeals Management Studio) is a comprehensive software platform that helps California counties manage every stage of the Assessment Appeals process -- from application intake to final board minutes in one secure, intuitive system.

While it was built specifically for California’s Assessment Appeals process, the framework can be customized for similar property assessment workflows in other jurisdictions.
