Easy.How is a Folio/Tax/Parcel Number Determined?
A property assessment typically determines a folio/tax/parcel number.Property Assessments
Property assessment is the process of establishing the dollar value of a property for property tax purposes. Why is this important? Because the amount of property tax paid should form a proportional relationship to the value of the property owned. Governed by states Law, this is known as “ad valorem” tax. To determine the tax value, your property’s taxable value is multiplied by a rate set by the taxing authorities. Conversely, non-ad Valorem tax is a fee not based on property value; rather it’s used to assess roads, fire, garbage, lighting, drainage, and other public services depending on the county, city, or special district. There are three methods to assess a property.1) The Replacement Method
This is used in the assessment of buildings or other structures. This is where assessors estimate how much it would cost, with current rates of material and labor in mind, to replace a given structure. Reasonable depreciation of the property is deducted while the value of the land the structure sits on is added.2) The Sales Comparison Method
This method uses the sales figures of similar properties in the immediate area to develop an analysis. The value is then adjusted against the average depending on the property’s unique attributes or lack thereof. For example, if a house has a basketball court while other nearby sold properties do not, the assessed value will rise. Conversely, if a house doesn’t have a basketball court and other sold properties in the area do, the assessed value would decrease.3) The Income Method
This method typically assesses business property, most notably investment properties leased to tenants such as apartment complexes, malls, and office buildings. The property’s value is determined by measuring the property’s annual income after expenses and comparing that to the rates of return for comparable investments.
