§ 819 Property Valuation Basis

Key Takeaways

  • •When figuring out how much property is worth, you can look at how much money it could make from rent.
  • •Only count the rent from the land and buildings, not from any business happening there.
  • •This helps decide the property's value in a fair way.

Example

You own a small shop building and want to know how much it's worth.

You can calculate its value by looking at how much rent you could charge for the building itself, not by how much money the shop inside makes.

When relevant to the determination of the value of property, a witness may take into account as a basis for his opinion the capitalized value of the reasonable net rental value attributable to the land and existing improvements thereon (as distinguished from the capitalized value of the income or profits attributable to the business conducted thereon). (Added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 1151.)
