GIS Based Solution For Property Tax Assessment
9 November 2018Success Story - Property Tax Assessment With Tailored GIS Implementation
Property tax is a crucial source of revenue for local governments, underpinning the financial architecture that facilitates essential civic amenities such as healthcare, education, sanitation and infrastructure development. Despite its importance, recent scholarship reveals a stark reality: property tax revenue accounts for a mere 0.2% of India's total GDP, lagging behind global benchmarks. Recognizing this gap, Mekansal India is on a mission to transform the property taxation landscape in India.
Our commitment to innovation and excellence led us to develop an end-to-end solution for a Municipal Council in the Nagpur region, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Leveraging our expertise and cutting-edge GIS technologies, we embarked on a comprehensive project to streamline property tax assessment processes.
The project commenced with the meticulous generation of digital data, including building shapes, ward boundaries, and zone boundaries. Our precise GIS applications assigned each property a unique identifier, laying the foundation for accurate assessment and streamlined coordination between teams.
The cornerstone of our success was the door-to-door survey measurement, facilitated seamlessly by our GIS app. This innovative approach empowered both office and field survey teams to visually track progress at the ward and property level, ensuring comprehensive data collection.
The project city now boasts an accurate GIS dataset of property tax assessment, enabling a myriad of spatial analyses and 2D to 3D virtual projections for enhanced visualization. These insights pave the way for informed decision-making processes across various city departments.
Most notably, our solution delivered tangible results, with the city's property tax revenue skyrocketing by approximately 300% compared to previous assessments. This success is proof of the transformative impact of our GIS-based approach. It has not only optimized revenue streams but also facilitated sustainable urban development.
At Mekansal India, we are committed to continuing our journey of innovation and collaboration. We will empower municipalities across India to unlock the full potential of property taxation. Join us as we reshape the future of urban governance, one GIS solution at a time.
