São Simão

What São Simão does

São Simão is a municipal government entity (Prefeitura Municipal de São Simão e Itaguaçu) located in the state of Goiás, Brazil, founded in 1958 and serving a population of approximately 17,020 inhabitants across a 415.015 km² territory. It administers all standard municipal public services — tax collection (IPTU and ITU property taxes), public works and infrastructure, education (including a medicine scholarship program), health services coordination, social assistance, construction permitting and inspection, and employment facilitation — through both physical service centers and a digital platform suite that includes the Portal de Serviços, Portal de Transparência, e-SIC (electronic Citizen Information Service under Brazil's Access to Information Law), Ouvidoria (municipal ombudsman), electronic invoicing (Nota Fiscal Eletrônica via Centi), Sala do Empreendedor (entrepreneur support center), SINE (national employment system integration), and Fiscalização de Obras e Posturas (construction and conduct inspection). The municipality maintains LGPD (Brazil's General Data Protection Law) compliance via a dedicated privacy portal and exposes automated API access to public information under Federal Law 12.527/2011.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional municipal government platform: WordPress-based website (saosimao.go.gov.br), third-party hosted e-SIC document management system, Centi-hosted electronic invoicing and IPTU payment services, and integrated national systems (SINE, SEBRAE, SENAC) accessed via partnership rather than built in-house. Distribution operates through a hybrid model: physical offices at Praça Cívica (headquarters), the SINE office on Rua 32, and the Sala do Empreendedor at the Terminal Rodoviário (bus terminal), complemented by digital channels including Instagram (@saladoempreendedorss), WhatsApp hotlines for the entrepreneur support center and tax department, official edilcal notice boards, and the municipal news portal.

The business/revenue model is that of a Brazilian municipal government under federalism: funding flows from local taxation (IPTU, ITU, ISS service tax), intergovernmental constitutional transfers (FPM, FUNDEB, royalties), and state/federal earmarked transfers. The municipality offers a 10% discount for upfront IPTU/ITU 2026 payment. Primary customer segments are horizontal: Citizens/Residents (~17,020) accessing services, transparency, and civic participation, and Local Businesses/Entrepreneurs obtaining MEI registration, business licensing, and SEBRAE consulting. The administration is led by Mayor Wallisson José de Freitas, Vice-Mayor Eliana Leonel da Silva Sousa de Almeida, and Chief of Cabinet Fabricio Lopes do Nascimento. The historic original town was submerged by the São Simão Hydroelectric Dam built by Cemig, and the current city was rebuilt on the shores of Lake Azul (17 billion m³ water volume), which forms a strategic tourism asset under active development.
