The basis for property boundary identification, ownership determination and transfer is the parcel map. State-of-the-art technology has evolved from the combined art and science of cadastral maps, sometimes created centuries earlier, to the digital parcel maps produced from today’s property information management systems. Integration of parcel map and ownership records through geographic indexing enables more timely, accurate and informed decision making.

Landfolio provides a unified and standardized project management workflow throughout the parcel subdivision process. User friendly “Parcel Wizards” guide the inexperienced user through parcel management activities that include splitting, amalgamating, subdividing, creating and adjusting parcel boundaries.

Functionality includes
• Bidirectional integration with landfolio registry
• Client managed workflow with user friendly interface
• Open architecture in compliance with open GIS requirements
• Business model driven application
• Controlled user access levels
• Wizard driven parcel map maintenance
• Job tracking through unique project ID
• Shortened user training curve

A public land registry is responsible for recording, indexing and archiving large volumes of land records and transactions for sellers, buyers, owners and lenders. The registry component of Landfolio provides a full registry automation solution so you can retain complete, official, and historical records of ownership and encumbrance transactions for parcels.

Features:
• Modernizes and automates existing manual land registration systems
• Provides the ability to incorporate local land registry data into regional, state and national registry systems
• Enables archiving and public access to electronic land and property information
• Operates standalone or integrates with existing cadastral mapping and property valuation systems

Users of Landfolio’s registry functionality will benefit by having a system that:
• Expedites the processing of the requests
• Creates transparent, accurate and auditable land records
• Enables retrieval of information over the Internet

A key component of revenue generation for government is the valuation of property. Trimble’s property valuation tool allows government users to receive and process valuations, and to update registers based on these valuations. Using Landfolio, the user is able to integrate a government’s existing land valuation information into the database including such elements as market value, sale price, taxable market value and tax category.

Typical functions by the users of these tools include:
• Request Market Valuation
• Request Taxable Value Approval
• Request Tax Category Assignment
• Create New Valuation Parcel
• Access a historical record of assessed values for all parcels
• Track time and date of valuations
• Use an Interactive Parcel Map
• Create a Valuation Work Package
• Bi-directional integration with the registry and cadastre

Trimble’s e-government solutions provide online public access to a region’s electronic land management or mineral rights management solution. e-Government solutions provide stakeholders with easy access to real estate transactions, mineral rights, and other land information. Stakeholders can also use these portal solutions to submit requested information such as applications, payments, documentation, etc.

Functionality:
• Map-based querying that can be as “open” or “controlled” as required based on restricted subscriptions and other password controlled and monitored technology.
• Provide stakeholders with 24/7 access to land offices
• Provide spatial view into cadastre data
• Allow stakeholders to submit applications, online payments, or statutory reports
• Undertake mineral right renewals, transfers, and relinquishments
• Minimize incoming physical paperwork

GIS analysis functionality in Landfolio puts the power of geographic information in the hands of decision makers. With analysis tools designed to complement other Landfolio data, GIS analysis in Landfolio incorporates non-spatial data into maps and provides geographic analytical capability where it has previously been absent.

Some of these analytical tools include:
• Basic editing: Feature editing, attribute editing, sketching, etc.
• Navigation: Zoom in/out, scale, pan, etc.
• Drawing: Tools to bring attention to different areas of the map
• Map inquiry: Find features, identify features, plot points, archive layer filter, etc.
• Geo-processing: Brings varying data together to produce information that can be used for analysis
