Abstract

Geographical Information Systems have been available in various forms for several decades but their use by the appraisal/valuation profession has tended to be concentrated in the field of mass appraisal and utilised almost exclusively by government instrumentalities. Such implementations have tended to be costly in terms of capital equipment, software licenses, database construction and licensing and staff training. The use of such systems for general valuation work has at best been spasmodic. Recent innovations in the availability of internet resources for both mapping and database access and management have opened opportunities for the deployment of low cost, easily maintained and operational effective systems. This paper describes and illustrates such a Simplified Geographical Information System (SGIS) for potential use by the valuation profession for both the auditing of Mass Appraisals and Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)
