Municipal GIS systems is a GIS system which manages various tasks of a municipality such as Property Tax, Birth and Death Registration, Socio Economic Data management and Holding registration. This also shows the geospatial view of the current municipal area linked with the corresponding database.
The database possesses attributes of each individual property with information such as land owner, co-owner, mailing & permanent address, house style, built year, individual room measurements, compliance with the regulations of the building authorities, public / private utilities mapping to the plot, street characteristics and amenities. There can also be a provision of linking each individual plots with their digitial photographs, and a link to the Map showing the location of the plot.
A Municipal GIS System involves various of steps including
- Computerization of land records
- Digitization of existing spatial entities such as base maps
- Updation of property records
- Property Tax Assessment
- Infrastructure database creation
- Survey of the individual properties
- Updation of the non-spatial database on a day to day citizen centric level
Urban Infrastructure planning and development and analysis for the future infrastructure is the major advantage of having a Municipal GIS system in place. The generation of Thematic map / Zoning map created a high visual impact and is used for assessment of several sectors such as for water network planning, property mapping by assessor, snow plowing in temperate regions, maintenance of cities and civic amenities services, etc.
The updated spatial and non-spatial database on the Municipal GIS system helps the concerned Municipality to export and generate the maps and also print them for any specific usage by the concerned field officer, or the property owner at any point of time thereby saving huge cost and time.
A final citizen centric service center is also organized wherein a daily updation of the spatial and non-spatial database is being taken care of, thereby keeping this Municipal GIS System in an updated position.
