In carrying out its duties and responsibilities, municipalities need to know with rigor its property assets to efficiently and effectively respond to the needs, expectations and community aspirations. The existence of a complete georeferenced real estate cadastre and inventory, rigorous and updated allows the municipality to know the nature, the state, the allocation and the value of real property in the public and private domain, determine its best use and promote conservation and integrated management. Cadastre and inventory are a legal obligation, a need for proper management and protection of assets and an important tool for the definition of public policies affecting spatial planning and finance of local authorities. It is important to assess the contribution of GIS to develop a solution that enables integrated and shared management of the municipal real property and consider on the advantages and challenges of the proposed solution.

Keywords : Geographic data; GIS; Municipal management; Cadastre and Inventory; Municipal Real Property.
