Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has proposed deploying Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to enhance property tax assessment and strengthen municipal revenue collection in Mysuru, Karnataka. The civic body intends to conduct drone-based aerial surveys to generate precise three-dimensional maps of properties, enabling authorities to identify building dimensions, number of floors, land-use changes, and unauthorised constructions that may currently be outside the tax net. MCC presently collects around INR 237 crore annually in property tax from nearly two lakh residential and commercial properties, while water tax collection stands at about INR 60 crore. With LiDAR-based GIS property mapping, the civic body expects property tax collections to increase to approximately INR 300 crore and water tax receipts to about INR 90 crore. The proposal has been submitted to the state urban development department, following a technical demonstration conducted by experts from the National Institute of Technology, Calicut.
