IF 1 PARCEL & MULTIPLE STRUCTURES, THEN:

2018 MARKET VALUE OF TAXABLE IMPROVEMENT(STRUCTURE/BUILDING ONLY)

IMPROVEMENT AREA (SQFT) PRICE PER SQFT

THEN:

PRICE PER SQFT EACH STRUCTURE/BUILDING SQFT

EXISTING MARKET VALUE

DETERMINING EXISTING MARKET VALUE (CONDO)

ADD ALL UNITS’ MARKET VALUE TOGETHER FOR EXISTING MARKET VALUE OF STRUCTURE/BUILDING

TO CHALLENGE THE MARKET VALUE: CERTIFIED APPRAISAL

• Licensed Appraiser in Pennsylvania

• Report

• Identify intended user (including property owner)

• Completed less than 1 year before floodplain application

• “Market Approach” is preferred - for structure only, land must be broken out (NOTE: to separate the market value of a structure from the value of the land on which it is located, appraisers may need to do more research than is normally undertaken in order to reasonably allocate the total value between the structure and the land) - for multiple buildings on one parcel, each must be assessed for existing market value

• “Income Capitalization Approached” is not acceptable

• All values must be for existing conditions, without any proposed improvements
