ABSTRACT
Property rate is one of the major sources of internally generated revenue to the Lagos Mainland Local Government (LMLG). However, presently property rate is poorly administered in the area. This is largely as a result of certain human, logistic, technical, environmental and data/information management problems. Consequently, the Local Government loses a significant amount of money, since the annual revenue yield from property rates is often notably low. In this research a computer-based system - PRAGIS (Property Rates Administration Geographic Information System) - was developed with a view to tackling the identified problems. Basically, the development of PRAGIS was hinged on the premise that property rates administration cannot be effectively and efficiently carried out without adequate use of relevant, accurate, timely and comprehensive geographically referenced digital information. Developing PRAGIS involved two broad tasks namely O gathering of relevant spatial property data from cadastral maps and aerial photographs and non-spatial property data from Valuation files, and (i) developing a computer-based GIS to capture and manage property databases.
