Civic body has suspended processing of all applications as it is migrating to new IT system
Around 1,000 applicants are waiting for the Coimbatore Corporation to respond after processing their applications for water connection. As many number of applicants are also waiting for the Corporation to assess their buildings for tax.
Sources in the civic body said that sometime in July, the civic body had suspended the process of assessing buildings for property tax, applications for water tax, collecting vacant land tax and approving applications for underground sewer connection. The suspension followed the move to migrate from the Corporation’s own data management system to the Urban Tree Information System, a system adopted by most urban local bodies in the State.
The period of migration saw the Corporation also suspend collection of property tax and water charges. After migrating the existing property tax assessments and water connection data to the Urban Tree Information System, the Corporation resumed collecting the two a few weeks ago.
