Revolutionizing Real Estate Assessments in Kozhikode
The Kozhikode Municipal Corporation has introduced an artificial intelligence system that processes historical sales data, zoning changes, and infrastructure projects to calculate property values. This replaces manual appraisal methods that often lagged behind rapid market changes.
Core Features of the AI System
- Dynamic pricing models that factor in upcoming transportation projects
- Neighborhood analysis comparing 15+ variables across similar properties
- Automated compliance checks against Kerala Building Rules 2019
- Real-time adjustments for flood risk zones and coastal regulations
Transparency Hub: Stakeholders can now access detailed valuation reports showing how specific features like road access or drainage quality impact appraisals. This addresses previous disputes about arbitrary assessments.
