Property Services

Overview

One of the major applications of the eGov stack is that it helps municipalities and citizens handle property tax payments and other related functions on the property such as assessments, mutation, and so on.

Pre-requisites

  1. Prior knowledge of Java/J2EE

  2. Prior knowledge of Spring Boot

  3. Prior knowledge of REST APIs and related concepts like path parameters, headers, JSON etc.

  4. Prior knowledge of Git

  5. Prior knowledge of the demand-based systems

  6. The following services should be up and running:

    • user

    • MDMS

    • Persister

    • Location

    • Localization

    • Id-Gen

    • Billing-service

    • URL-shortener

Key Functionalities

The Property Service provides multiple functionalities starting from serving as a central repository where property information is registered for reference of citizens and other municipality-provided services such as water connection and sewerage management. An assessment can be done to calculate and pay tax on the property. The different services provided by the property services are -

  • Property Registry

  • Assessment

  • Mutation

  • Bifurcation

  • Consolidation

Registry Explanation

  • The registry flow helps the citizen/Employee to create a property in the system with the minimal information required.

  • Other workflows such as assessment or mutation can be triggered on the existing ACTIVE Property in the registry.

  • The property can be created, updated, cancelled, and searched followed by the process of Mutation and Assessment.

  • The same entry in the registry can be referred to by other modules for various business purposes (Water charges).

Configuration Details

MDMS CONFIG: https://github.com/egovernments/egov-mdms-data/tree/DEV/data/pb/PropertyTax

Persister File Configuration

The persister file configuration for property services can be found in the Config repo of eGov Git, which needs to be added in the persister service - property-services-registry.yml

Workflow Configurations

Each flow in the property has a workflow associated with it, which can be controlled by following configurations.

The Boolean field can enable/disable Workflow - the same field controls the update and creates the workflow.

name
value
description

is.workflow.enabled

true/false

enable disbale workflow

PT.CREATE

the name should match the config name in the workflow businessservice JSON

PT.LEGACY

PT.UPDATE

Workflow configuration for a property is created if the source is from the WATER CONNECTION module.

For the creation of property from the water and sewerage module, as per the use case mentioned in this ticket, a different workflow configuration is used. For each use case, to identify which workflow to use can be identified from this mdms file.

{
 "tenantId": "pb",
 "moduleName": "PropertyTax",
 "PTWorkflow":[
     {
         "businessService":"PT.CREATEWITHWNS",
         "initialAction":"OPEN",
         "inWorkflowStatusAllowed":false,
         "enable":false
     },
     {
      "businessService":"PT.CREATE",
      "initialAction":"open",
      "inWorkflowStatusAllowed":true,
      "enable":true
  }
     
 ]
}

Use Case 1, which involves property creation from the Water and Sewerage module, necessitates a single-step workflow. In the MDMS file mentioned above, ensure that the businessService with PT.CREATEWITHWNS object is enabled, allowing the field to be set as true. Property creation from the Water and Sewerage module will feature a one-step workflow, for properties in an ACTIVE state.

Fields in the above MDMS file:

MDMS Fields
Description

businessService

Name of workflow config

initialAction

Indicate the start(initial) action of the particular workflow mention in businessService.

inWorkflowStatusAllowed

This field indicate whether the property with application status as “inWorkflow” can be use with water and sewerage connection creation. If this field is true then for that particular use case, the property with “inWorkflow” status can be use with water and sewerage connection creation and vice versa

enable

If this filed is set as true, then the other fields associate with the particular object is use for property creation.

Note: Each object mentioned above represents a specific use case outlined in this ticket. Therefore, only one object (use case) enable field should be set to true at any given time.
