By comparing satellite images, it's possible to determine whether new buildings have appeared in urban areas that have not been reported for taxation. Additionally, land use in agricultural areas can be verified, and hardened areas can be identified.

SatRev's Smart City property tax monitoring for Łódź and Szczecinek

Smart City services will be offered to additional municipalities: Łódź and Szczecinek. The collaboration aims to utilize advanced satellite technology to identify tax irregularities, marking a significant step forward in municipal management and administration. The scope of services aims to revolutionize the way tax revenues are monitored and enforced, ensuring a fairer and more transparent system for all residents.

By incorporating satellite imagery into their tax surveillance strategies, Łódź and Szczecinek join a growing list of forward-thinking cities recognizing the value of technology in effectively addressing tax challenges. With high-resolution satellite images and analytical tools from SatRev, cities can significantly improve their ability to detect changes in property usage, accurately assess land values, and more effectively identify potential tax avoidance actions.

Wrocław as an example of effective tax irregularity monitoring

SatRev's collaboration in providing satellite images with the capital of Lower Silesia dates back to 2019 and aims to increase oversight of tax irregularities.

Through satellite imaging services provided by SatRev for the Wrocław City Office since 2020, nearly 1700 potential tax irregularities related to property tax have been detected. Based on these findings, 580 verification activities were conducted, identifying 321 actual irregularities related to reduced tax bases or lack of surface reporting. Due to the solution's effectiveness, the Wrocław City Office continues its satellite detection service with SatRev to increase measurement efficiency and property tax enforcement. Furthermore, the agreement includes additional functionality expanded to monitor agricultural land use.

Smart City satellite services provided by SatRev are part of a broader initiative aimed at modernizing urban services and management using modern technologies. The integration of satellite imaging combined with the analysis of complex tax declarations and their verification against the actual state positions Wrocław, Łódź, and Szczecinek as examples for other cities to follow, showcasing the potential of technology to enhance public administration using cutting-edge AI-supported solutions.

The use of satellite imagery for tax enforcement is gaining broader interest among public entities due to its effectiveness in identifying irregularities and ensuring tax declaration compliance with the actual state. SatRev's modern satellite technology offers a comprehensive solution for city and municipality administrations, enabling the monitoring of land use, property development, and other factors influencing tax assessment.
