Property tax survey To introduce AI for verification of aerial photographs Saitama City September 3 8:06

Saitama City decided to introduce AI = artificial intelligence in a survey to determine the amount of property tax on a house by comparing aerial photographs one by one in order to improve operational efficiency.

The amount of property tax on houses is determined by comparing the aerial photos taken in January each year with photos from the previous year, and by visiting the city staff for possible new or expanded houses. It has been.

From next year, Saitama City has decided to introduce AI for aerial photo collation to determine this tax amount.

According to the city, the work that two people have been working on for 3 days has been completed in just a few tens of minutes, and it is possible to reduce 90% of the work time by trial calculation.

In addition, it is expected that the accuracy of the survey will be improved because it is possible to exclude non-target facilities such as large containers that are difficult to distinguish by looking at aerial photographs.

In Saitama City, the local governments that have introduced AI in earnest for property tax surveys are unprecedented throughout the country.

“I want to make good use of AI and work efficiently” says Saitama City Property Tax Division Manager Tsuji Matsuda.
