Municipal Corporations Deploy Laser Meter Technology to Curb Property Tax Evasion in Commercial Buildings
City authorities are introducing advanced laser‑meter systems to accurately measure commercial structures within municipal limits, aiming to identify and prevent property tax fraud.
The municipal corporation has begun using laser‑meter technology to obtain precise dimensions of commercial buildings, a step aimed at tackling property tax evasion.
The laser meter provides high‑resolution measurements, allowing officials to compare recorded built‑up area with tax records and spot discrepancies.
The initiative forms part of a broader effort to improve revenue collection and ensure fairness among taxpayers, with officials expecting more accurate assessments.
The technology will be rolled out across the corporation’s jurisdiction, and training sessions are being conducted for survey teams.
Early trials have shown that the laser system can reduce manual errors and speed up the verification process.
