Lea County, New Mexico has partnered with Catalis to replace its outdated property assessment system with a scalable, cloud-based computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) platform, marking Catalis’ second such project in the state and aiming to improve valuation data management and future assessment capabilities through ongoing implementation and training support.
March 19, 2026 — Lovington, NM — Catalis, a leading provider of government technology solutions, announced that Lea County, NM has selected Catalis as its partner to transform its property assessment operations into a modern computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) system. This strategic modernization initiative will transition an aging legacy system to a scalable, cloud-based platform designed to meet the County’s evolving needs.
