Economic activity and population growth Bauchi metropolis contributed to the emergence of the Tambari Estate to house the state's civil service's senior and junior staff. This has not only increased the need for land to accommodate the various land uses, but it has also posed challenges to proper and efficient layout management. Appropriate land administration is critical to any nation's socioeconomic development and long-term land information systems. In this period, information and new strategies for sustainable land administration are becoming increasingly important. However, the storage and management of land information have continued to remain analog, resulting in difficulties in land boundary litigation and economic losses. In this paper, a digital housing information management system for the Tambari estate in Bauchi Metropolis was developed. ArcGIS 10.7 was used to digitize and update the layout of the estate sourced from the Bauchi State Ministry of Housing while the attribute data like ownership information, plot details, plot type, number of rooms, status, land use, and other relevant information were gotten through fieldwork. The information of each house was entered into an attribute table to create a relational database. The relational database was used to develop the user interface created using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 software which then allowed for the development of the housing management system with an interactive interface with username and password. The development of a Housing Information Management System will provide accurate information to the government and stakeholders in a timely and efficient manner for proper planning and decision-making, as well as effective land-use management. The study recommended the implementation of housing information systems by all levels of government. The system will stimulate economic activity, social cohesion, and long-term development.
