[Please keep discussions on the mailing list] What is the source of the data? Will you be hosting the data or proxying/cascading data hosted by others? Getting access to data may be your greatest problem; this depends on your local laws and the technical abilities of your statutory agencies. Licence conditions can be a barrier for reuse.
I have seen examples of local government databases that include ownership and valuation for rating (land tax) purposes. Here is one for Dunedin City Council (my city) in New Zealand: http://www.dunedin.govt.nz/services/rates-information/search-by-map This is a great resource for discovering land title cadastral boundaries, ownership, and rating valuations. The page source suggests that they use ESRI ArcGIS and its web components; ArcGIS is often seen used with Oracle. You should be able to achieve similar results (or better!) with GeoServer WMS, OpenLayers, and PostGIS. Kind regards, Ben.
