Abstract
Property rate is widely considered as the most significant and stable revenue source for local governments. However, it is fraught with challenges. These include the lack of geo-data on rateable properties and the manual approach towards revenue collection and monitoring. A mixed method approach was adopted to gather and analyse data from 15 local government officials and 5000 properties using interview guides and semi-structured questionnaires to assess the property rate capacity of a local government. Geospatial technology was applied to property rate management of the local government as a possible alternative. The study revealed that the geospatial technology-based property rate management system has the potential to generate more than 1000% of the property rate generated. It is proffered that local governments implement a GIS-based property rate management system to generate the needed revenue for local development.
