About Aumentum

Aumentum Technologies provides software solutions that support the property lifecycle for state and local governments across North America.

Our products help jurisdictions manage complex processes spanning Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA), property assessment, valuation, tax administration, billing, collections, and related property and revenue functions.

Our software supports the work behind one of local government's most important responsibilities: accurately valuing property, administering property taxes, and managing the information and processes that connect properties, taxpayers, assessors, treasurers, and other government agencies.
