STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV  The local official first categorizes the types of expected uses of the eligible 8002 property in each Federal installation or area based on the highest and best uses of taxable properties adjacent to the property (e.g. residential, commercial, agricultural, etc.).

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV The local official allocates a portion of the acres of the eligible 8002 property to each of those expected uses.

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV In determining the base value for each category the local official allocates a percentage to expected non-assessed or tax- exempt uses, such as public open space, schools, churches, roads, etc. This portion is based on the actual occurrence found in the adjacent property locations.

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV The local official selects from each expected use category identified a minimum sample size of 10 taxable adjacent properties that represent the highest and best uses of the taxable properties.

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV If at least 3 but fewer than 10 taxable properties are selected in each category the lowest per-acre value of the sample shall be replicated in the sampling until 10 values are achieved.

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV When selecting sample properties for the base year the number of recent sales used is limited to the “number of recent sales in the jurisdiction(s) in each use category for the 3 most recent years divided by the total number of taxable properties in the category in the most recent year”.

STEPS IN DETERMINING EAV In utilizing the percent value for recent sales multiplied by the sample size the number of parcels shall be rounded down. Thus if the recent sales percent is 8% and a sample of 10 is selected, no recent sales may be included in the sample of 10 (10 x 8% =.8 rounded down to 0) In utilizing the percent value for recent sales multiplied by the sample size the number of parcels shall be rounded down. Thus if the recent sales percent is 8% and a sample of 10 is selected, no recent sales may be included in the sample of 10 (10 x 8% =.8 rounded down to 0)

EXAMPLE Eligible 8002 property acres 1.Local official determines adjacent property is 60% residential, 40% commercial acres categorized as residential and 400 acres commercial. 3.Local official determines that 20% of residential is non-assessed or tax- exempt and 15% of commercial, so 120 and 60 acres respectively are excluded.

EXAMPLE - CONTINUED 4.Local official selects sample of taxable properties (min. of 10). 5.If residential sample has a $100,000 per acre and commercial has a $250,000 value then the calculations are: 600 ac.-120 ac.= 480 x $100,000 = $48 million and 400 ac ac = 340 x $250,000 = $85 million. 4.Local official selects sample of taxable properties (min. of 10). 5.If residential sample has a $100,000 per acre and commercial has a $250,000 value then the calculations are: 600 ac.-120 ac.= 480 x $100,000 = $48 million and 400 ac ac = 340 x $250,000 = $85 million.
