Key Assessment Approaches Used By The Property Valuation Services Corporation ( Pvsc )

In reality property development is complex, often taking place over a considerable time frame. The end product is unique, either in terms of its physical quality and/or its location. The development process can be divided into multiple stages which are; Initiation, Evaluation, Acquisition, Design, Permission Commitment, Implementation and Let/manage/dispose.

As assessment is usually conducted at two phases in any project. (Burt, 2005) First it is conducted to

1. The most probable price which a property will bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale is:

The current assessed value of the property is stated at $400,000, however with the improvements to be made by the current owner, there is a projected value of $500,000. However, with Mr. Alexander making the improvements to the property himself, along with the average rents in the area increasing, the value is now projected to be worth $562,500 a 12.5% increase.

The no purchase option in the socio-economic section had suggested that the economic use of the land be on assumption. Also that there were no figures to determine the economic impact; however, if assumptions were made to the economic use there should be at least theoretical figures to develop an economic impact. The tax revenue for the county is also assumed to stay the same; however, if the land was to be developed by a private citizen the value of the land would increase and in turn the tax levy (Brooks, 2006). In the EA prior to the socio-economic assessment it is suggested that the tax revenue could increase due to development (Vinkey, 2006) in contradiction with each other.

The lot has a relatively square shape, and level with road access directly off of the Bull Run Road. The subject lot is surrounded by improved lots on three sides, one of which includes the appellant's residence. The subject lot was made buildable in 2015 due to the fact that the owner had paid valid market price of $452,000, and the lot is adjoined to improved lots and comparable vacant lots which are considered buildable and have approved septic fields. Consequently, its assessed value was increased from $60,000 to $311,000. The new improved lots in the area are approved for above ground septic

By comparing census data from the Toronto CMA and specific census tracts (e.g. 5350037) in Table 1, stores like Lowe’s would be able to create a qualitative profile of the market and explore in deep tentative sites for future stores. In fact, the comparison and analysis of the following variables would allow Lowe’s to understand the type of market in the census tract with respect to Toronto. First, the Toronto CMA presents an average of 2.8 persons per private household, which is relatively higher compared to an average of 2.1 persons for the census tract 5350037. By analysing the market, an average of 2.1 people is more likely to require a service focused on interior living spaces than outdoor home improvements, reducing the demand and therefore

The purpose of this memo is to prepare the Oz City Council for the upcoming budget study session with the public. At the session, the council will discuss proposed changes in the cost accounting system of the Emerald City Planning and Zoning (P&Z) department. The proposal would shift the system to an activity-based costing (ABC) scheme rather than a traditional cost scheme. This change would allow the department to address budget deficit issues within the permitting process that currently utilizes equal cost allocation. The ABC scheme would allocate these costs on the basis of plan review, site review, code review, and other activities within the permitting process (Marlowe, 2007, p. 1). Thus, the ABC system would allow the P&Z department to accurately calculate the cost of services then charge accordingly. This system can help ensure efficient and equitable services. Furthermore, the ABC scheme would align with and further enhance the performance management model set forth by the recent internal performance audit. While there are advantages to ABC, there are also several disadvantages and other considerations. I will outline and analyze these to present a balanced and complete analysis that will facilitate a productive and successful budget session with the public. It is critical to address the public’s concerns and obtain support for the implementation of an ABC scheme within the P&Z department. Lastly, I will conclude with a recommended course of action which

Appraisal: determine the value of building and suitability for intended use, check zoning ordinances and provide an opinion on the advisability of

It is known that when there is no consideration of property type, on the other hand, there is no selection of valuation method. Because, selection of valuation method and identification of property type mostly go together. Description of the property which is the subject of a valuation report is one of the scientific procedures of valuation (http://www.iacenig.org/CEthics.html). This is realized from the fact that for the selection of valuation method, the available data and the type of property (commercial or residential) plays important role.

Steps one through three in the decision making process include the following: Determine the facts, identify the ethical issues involved, and identify stakeholders. Beginning with the facts of the case Ms. Adams is the sole proprietor of her small successful structural engineering firm with a MBA. She has 15 employees working for her firm in renovation of major historic commercial buildings. One of her largest clients Charles A. Smith owns the Inverness Bank an old, well-recognized seven-story granite faced building. Smith is in the final stages of negotiations to sell the Inverness Bank to a group of foreign investors represented by Sam Goldworthy a local attorney. Mr. Goldworthy requested a structural survey of specific building elements, including outdated window casements, among others to wrap up the deal.

There has been a significant increase in the use of AVMs in valuing properties for taxation purposes (RCIS 2013, Adair and McGeal 1988). This is primarily due to the somewhat cumbersome nature of the traditional single parcel appraisal method adopted by valuers, which is also very cost intensive (O’Neil, 2004).
