Wh I F i M k V l ? What Is Fair Market Value?

  • S

tates may define value differently

  • Michigan: True cash value

Texas: Appraised/ market value

  • Indiana: True tax value

Florida: Just value

  • S

tates generally follow appraisal industry’s definition of FMV:

tates generally follow appraisal industry s definition of FMV:

  • The most probable price, as of a specified

date, in cash, or in t erms of equivalent t o

cash, or in ot her precisely revealed t erms, for which t he specified propert y right s should sell aft er reasonable exposure in a compet it ive market under all condit ions requisit e t o a fair sale, wit h t he buyer and seller each act ing prudent ly, knowledgeably, and for self-int erest , and assuming t hat neither is under undue

F i M k V l C Fair Market Value Concept

  • Assessor’s principal duty is to determine FMV of property.
  • FMV: What a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an

k t

  • pen market

Assessor can utilize three Approaches to value: Income Approach Market Approach Cost Approach

FMV

SLIDE 13

I A h T V l Income Approach To Value

  • Value of an investment property

reflects the quality and quantity of income it is expected to generate income it is expected to generate

  • ver its life.
  • Means of converting future benefits

to present value

  • Essential to the approach is the idea

that income to be received in the that income to be received in the future is less valuable than income received today.

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Sales Comparison (Market Value) Approach

  • The sales comparison approach is

a correlation of the subj ect property with comparable sales, property with comparable sales, adj usting those comparable sales to the characteristics of the bj t t L k f d t i subj ect property. Lack of data is maj or stumbling block in using this method. Many states do not y require statement of market value in purchase documents.

14

slide-15
SLIDE 15

C A h Cost Approach

  • The cost approach assumes value of an

asset cannot exceed cost to reconstruct or replace it with another of like utility.

  • Replacement cost new (RCN) establishes

the highest amount a prudent investor would pay for an asset. To the extent assets are not new, the RCN is adj usted for losses in value due to physical deterioration and

  • bsolescence.
  • Obsolescence is a loss in value due to

factors internal and external to an asset.

15

slide-16
SLIDE 16

C A h (C ) Cost Approach (Cont.)

  • Mass appraisal cost approach: Assessor trends taxpayer’s

historical data by inflation factors in order to derive a value known as reproduction cost new.

  • Inaccurate assumption is:

Reproduction cost new = Replacement cost new

  • Not accounting for excess cost and obsolescence

g

  • Assessor’s risk: The trends are not always current, so there is a

lag between the assessor’s trends and the current market value.

F ti l Ob l Functional Obsolescence

Functional obsolescence is the loss in value or usefulness of a property caused by inefficiencies or inadequacies of the property itself, when compared with a more efficient or less costly modern replacement property that new technology has developed.

  • Functional obsolescence from excess capital costs
  • Difference between reproduction cost and replacement cost
  • Functional (operating) obsolescence from excess operating

expenses

  • Caused by excess operating expenses of the subject when

compared with its modern replacement

  • When operating expenses of the subject property are less than of

the modern replacement the analysis results in a net benefit (not a the modern replacement, the analysis results in a net benefit (not a penalty) for the subject property.

The current economic conditions are negatively affecting ABC Co., which is reflected in reduced production figures. Fuel, steel, d l i t t d hi h d i hi h R t i l d t t and aluminum costs are at record highs and going higher. Raw material and component costs are rising at unprecedented rates and to levels never before seen. As of the assessment date

  • f March 1, 20xx, the north plant’s rated production capacity is 49,149. However, due to the

current economy, lack of demand, the current price of fuel and other adverse conditions, the north plant is expected to produce an estimated 23,007 or fewer trailers annually for the p p p , y foreseeable future. ABC Co. claims an abnormal obsolescence adj ustment in the computation of true tax value pursuant to 50 IAC 4.2-4-8. The loss of value of personal property at both plants occurred as a result of adverse market conditions in the trailer industry and more generally in the economy, which was unanticipated and unexpected and could not have been reasonably foreseen by a which was unanticipated and unexpected and could not have been reasonably foreseen by a prudent business person.

buildings.

  • County assessor valued real estate using the cost approach.
  • Issues
  • Facility’s design compared with a state-of-the-art facility

lacked continuity, new building materials, and efficient flow

  • f goods and materials. Additionally, the facility was limited

in its ability to expand.

  • Conclusion

B d b l tifi ti t d d ki

  • Based on an obsolescence quantification study and working

with the local assessor, company’s real property liability was reduced by 25% , and company received a tax refund of $140 000 $140,000.

Reilly Case Study No. 1: Power Generation

The facts

  • Subject plant is an old, outdated gas-fired steam plant.
  • Requires a large labor force – 40-plus employees – high labor expense
  • High heat rate and is thermally inefficient
  • Replacement plant is a new, modern combined cycle gas turbine

(CCGT).

  • Requires a smaller labor force – 20 employees or fewer – low labor expense
  • Heat rate is low

Efficient!

  • Heat rate is low – Efficient!

Reilly Case Study No. 2: Tire Manufacturing

The facts

  • Subject tire plant is an old and outdated facility.
  • Subject plant was built in the 1970s.
  • Inefficient manufacturing layout requires a large labor

Inefficient manufacturing layout requires a large labor force (lots of people and forklifts).

  • Old production equipment requires large amounts of

energy. O

  • Outdated equipment produces excessive scrap.
  • Replacement plant is a “newer” tire plant.
  • Replacement plant was built in the 1990s

Replacement plant was built in the 1990s.

  • Smaller labor force required (lots of automation &

conveyors)

  • Newer production equipment requires less energy.
  • Newer equipment and streamlined process reduce

scrap.
