Case Study: City of Palos Verdes Estates achieves new GIS revenue with Digital Map Products' CityGIS™

Using CityGIS to Generate GIS Revenue

The City of Palos Verdes Estates needed a new way to generate revenue to support future GIS projects while managing public and private lots more effectively. Using CityGIS™ from Digital Map Products, the city looked for a fee-based service that could replace costly outside radius map preparation for permit applicants.

Digital Map Products customized the CityGIS™ Notification Tool so the city could include livable square footage and lot size on radius maps and print mailing labels directly from the system. The result was a new public radius map service priced at $300 that is expected to bring in about $24,000 annually, while improving efficiency, collaboration, and funding future GIS database expansion.
