Using Assessed Values in Property Valuations
Dr Song ShiSchool of Economics and Finance
Massey University
Motivation
• Using assessed values to improve the sales comparison approach in property valuations– Identify valuation error sources– How to correct them– Provide new thinking and technique for real estate
appraisals
Literature
• The selection and comparison of sales can be sophisticated and complicated– Lentz and Wang (1998) classify the evolution of the
appraisal methodologies into three categories– The contemporary adjustment-grid method by Vandell
(1991), Gau, et al. (1992, 1994), and Lai, et al. (2008).– Non-traditional regression model ,artificial intelligence
and spatial analysis methods , e.g. by Peterson and Flanagan (2009), Zurada, et al. (2011), Bourassa, et al. (2010), Osland (2010) and Beamonte, et al. (2013).
What Is The Research Problem?
• However, as pointed out by Epley (1997) all these methods are“based on the presumption that a sufficient number of closed sales of comparable properties always exist in a finite time period such that a statistically reliable sample can be found…The theory is good, but not measurable or applicable (p.175-176)”.
Review of The Traditional Sales Comparison Approach
• (1)
• (2)
Where represents the ith property’s sale price at time period t1, represents the vector of land
characteristics (including lot size, shape, contour, views and other amenities), represents the
vector of building characteristics (including building age, floor area, construction materials,
condition, modernisation, number of bathrooms, garage and others), and is the
submarket/neighbourhood dummy variables.
The Proposed Approach – “The Improved Net Rate” Analysis
• Using the property’s assessed land value as a proxy to represent the land component in property valuations
• (5)– is the estimated total value of the subject property using assessed land value
statistics– is the assessed land value of the subject property– is the derived improvement value for the ith comparable property using its
assessed land value– A denotes the assessed value.
An Example of the Improved Net Rate Methodology
Comparable sales Sale 1 Sale 2 Sale 3 Sale 4 Sale 5
Calculations of net rates
Total sale price 175,000 215,000 230,000 250,000 245,000
Less assessed land value 38,000 81,000 87,000 52,000 78,000
Improvement value 137,000 134,000 143,000 198,000 167,000
Less other improvements 10,000 15,000 15,000 18,000 14,000
Value of the dwelling 127,000 119,000 128,000 180,000 153,000
Floor area (sqm) 130 120 120 120 120
Net Rate ($psm) 977 992 1,067 1,500 1,275
Adjustments of net rates

Adjusted net rate ($psm) 1,045 992 1,003 1,185 1,071
Weights on comparable sales 30% 30% 15% 10% 15%
Weighted average net rate 1,041
Property valuation
Floor area of the subject property 130 sqm
Calculated dwelling value 135,330
Plus the assessed land value 80,000
Plus other improvements 10,000
Total current market value of property 225,330
Market value breakup
Market value of land 90,000
Market value of improvements 135,330
Current market value of property 225,330 say 225,000
Notes: For the subject property, its assessed land value is given at $80,000; its market land value is assumed at $90,000. Other improvements value (garage, shed and fencing, etc.) is estimated at $10,000.
Estimation Errors In The Proposed Approach
• “Within” estimation error due to the proposed estimation approach– Controlled and correctable
• “Outside” estimation error due to the assessment errors in tax assessment– Non-controlled, but its impact is small when
adding more sales.
The “Within” Estimation Error
• ((β-1))/((γ*β(1+δ))/(α-(1+δ))+1), (8)
– α= , the ratio of the jth (subject) property’s assessed land value to the ith (comparable)
property’s assessed land value
– β =, the ratio of the ith (comparable) property’s assessed land value to its market land value
at time of sale
– γ= , the ratio of the ith (comparable) property’s sale price to its assessed land value at time of
sale
– δ= , building structure adjustments in percentage between the subject property and
comparable property
An Example Of Calculation α, β, γ, δ and The “Within” Estimation Error
• The “within” estimation error is calculated at 0.3%, assuming δ=15%
The “Outside” Estimation Error• Due to assessment process and methods• Assessment errors are almost unavoidable, but systematic errors such
as horizontal and vertical inequities are discouraged – Assessments must meet the minimum compliance requirements (e.g. the
IAAO (1999) standard)• Empirical test show the systematic errors are small
– Allen & Dare (2002); Cornia & Slade (2005); Goolsby (1997)– Clapp (1990); Sirmans, Diskin & Friday (1995); Cornia & Slade (2005)– Shi (2014)
• It is arguable problems of assessment errors in assessed land values are likely to be smaller than assessed values in whole, due to– The Rich GIS information for land and neighbourhoods is ready to obtain– New sophisticated techniques for land valuations (e.g. Clapp (2003), Longhofer
and Redfearn (2009), and Özdilek (2012).

Conclusions
• The method provides a very attractive solution to the traditional sales comparison approach when comparable sales are limited.
• The impact of assessment errors is small and when more sales are added, the accuracy of valuation is improved.
• The key assumption is that neighbourhood effects are capitalised into land assessments which are uniformly assessed in an urban residential area.
• The method is easy to adopt in practice.
