Abstract: Property tax is an essential revenue source for the state government to construct infrastructure, to improve the facilities needed for the people and to perform any city operations. The lack of updating information on newly constructed buildings, precise measurements in property boundaries and monitoring the tax payers reduces the tax revenue collection. Geographic Information System (GIS) helps to improve the property tax revenue by creating a common platform in which the property boundaries are linked to the property related data. The property boundaries digitized from the cadastral map is linked to the database containing the property related data such as name of owner, no of floors in each building, property type, nature of occupancy etc., The area for property boundary is calculated in GIS and is multiplied with the taxes implied which varies for each property depending on their dimensions. The resulting map is connected to the PostgreSQL and PostGIS and published as a static web page in a geo-server where the respective information for each property is displayed.
