This presentation details the technical implementation of a QGIS-based geospatial workflow within the Municipal Treasury of Caucaia, Brazil. As the Secretariat of Finance (SEFIN) transitioned from fragmented legacy systems to a centralized spatial database, QGIS emerged as the primary tool for fiscal auditing and land administration.
The core of the methodology relies on the integration of QGIS with PostGIS to perform spatial analysis for tax consistency verification. We demonstrate how automated processing models cross-reference cadastral data with high-resolution imagery and external registries. A key focus of this session is the technical challenge of aligning municipal data with Brazilian national standards, specifically SINTER (National Land Management Information System) and CIB (Real Estate Registration National Code).
SINTER represents a major interoperability milestone and a significant technical hurdle for all 5,570 Brazilian municipalities. This presentation highlights how Caucaia successfully navigated these requirements using FOSS4G. Attendees will gain insights into how open-source tools facilitate fiscal justice through precise territorial management, offering a replicable success story for other jurisdictions facing complex national integration mandates in a demanding public sector environment.
I am a Municipal Treasury Auditor and Geographer specializing in fiscal intelligence and real estate taxation.
