A Municipal Infrastructure Management System (MIMS) is a system used by municipal governments in Canada to record and analyze their infrastructure assets.

The infrastructure assets are recorded and analyzed based on a number of characteristics, such as:

  • Type (roads, bridges, parks)
  • Age
  • Condition
  • Value

MIMS have been created by many municipalities [1] due to the CICA's new PS 3150 [2], a regulation requiring municipal governments to record and amortize all of their tangible capital assets for the fiscal reporting year of 2009.
