Abstract

This study presents the development of a land information system for a residential area in Khulna city of Bangladesh. The system is designed to provide the Municipal Corporation an ability to assess the holding tax in an automated GIS based application, which can also assist to trace out tax delinquency and tax defaulters. This study demonstrates a case study of a database system which can be easily maintained, queried and updated than the current hard copy database. This system can be practiced by other City Corporation and Municipality in Bangladesh for raising their internal revenue income.
