Systems and methods for determining a high-precision geo-fence boundary for a business utilizing the property boundaries of a business are provided. The property boundaries for a business are obtained, and the longest diagonal of the polygon of the property is determined. This diagonal is used as a diameter to create a circle for a primary geo-fence monitoring area for the business. When a user enters the primary geo-fence monitoring area, a location updating feature of the mobile device can be activated to get the real time coordinates of the mobile device. The real time coordinates of the mobile device can then be used to accurately determine if the user is actually in the polygon of the business property.

A method for determining a geo-fence monitoring area for a business, the method comprising: receiving, by a processing device, an address for the business;obtaining, by the processing device, rooftop coordinates for the business based on the received address;determining, by the processing device,
1. A method for determining a geo-fence monitoring area for a business, the method comprising: receiving, by a processing device, an address for the business;obtaining, by the processing device, rooftop coordinates for the business based on the received address;determining, by the processing device, a parcel in which the business is located using the rooftop coordinates;obtaining, by the processing device, property boundary data for the determined parcel in which the business is located, the property boundary data including a parcel boundary definition for property on which the business is located;determining, by the processing device, a longest diagonal of a polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition for the property on which the business is located;creating, by the processing device, a circle, using the determined longest diagonal as a diameter, that is centered on the polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition; andregistering, by the processing device, the circle as the geo-fence monitoring area for the business. 2. A system for determining a geo-fence monitoring area for a business, the system comprising: a processing device;a database accessible by the processing device, the database storing property boundary data for properties, the property boundary data including parcel boundary definitions for the properties,wherein the processing device is configured to receive an address for the business, obtain rooftop coordinates for the business based on the received address, determine a parcel in which the business is located using the rooftop coordinates, obtain from the database property boundary data for the determined parcel in which the business is located, the property boundary data including a parcel boundary definition for property on which the business is located;determine a longest diagonal of a polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition for the property on which the business is located;create a circle, using the determined longest diagonal as a diameter, that is centered on the polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition; andregister the circle as the geo-fence monitoring area for the business. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining, by the processing device, that a user's mobile device has entered into the geo-fence monitoring area for the business;obtaining, by the processing device, location coordinates of the user's mobile device;determining, by the processing device, if the location coordinates of the user's mobile device are within the polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition for the property on which the business is located; andproviding a location-based service to the user's mobile device only if the location coordinates of the user's mobile device are within the polygon formed by the parcel boundary definition for the property on which the business is located.
