    This study examines the effect of government policies on property tax compliance among Nigerian landowners, with a focus on how regulatory, fiscal, and administrative policies influence taxpayer behavior. The research explores the role of technological innovations, such as data management and communication tools, in enhancing tax administration and compliance rates. Using a mixed-methods approach, primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to landowners, while secondary data from government tax reports were analyzed. The study employs descriptive and inferential statistics to assess the relationship between government policies, technological innovations, and property tax compliance. Findings reveal that while regulatory and fiscal policies establish a legal framework for property taxation, inconsistent implementation and perceived unfairness hinder compliance. Administrative policies, particularly in assessment and collection procedures, significantly impact compliance rates. Technological innovations, such as GIS applications and automated tax management systems, improve efficiency and transparency, enhancing taxpayer trust and voluntary compliance. However, challenges like inadequate taxpayer education and poor public perception of the tax system remain. The study concludes that effective government policies, complemented by technological innovations, are essential for achieving higher compliance rates and improved revenue generation. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers aiming to refine tax administration strategies and foster greater taxpayer engagement. It recommends enhanced public awareness programs and consistent policy implementation to address gaps in compliance. Future research could explored the long-term effects of policy changes and technology adoption on property tax revenues
