    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; and

    registering, by the processing device, the circle as the geo-fence monitoring area for the business.
