First published in 1997, this volume emerged in response to the need for material on the research, development, use and application of mass appraisal techniques for ad valorem property tax systems. The primary paradigms discussed include regression, base home technique, adaptive estimation procedure and artificial neural networks. Intending to address a wide range of property types, the authors explored residential, condominiums, retail, office and industrial property as well as agricultural and forestry land.

"Overview of property tax systems across Africa. Reviews of salient features for 29 countries and four regions (Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone, North African countries). Chapters offer in-depth discussion of key policy issues (tax base, exemptions and other relief, and tax rate), administrative issues (valuation and assessment, billing, collection, enforcement), and the future of the property tax in Africa." - Provided by publisher

This encyclopedia provides an in-depth analysis of issues related to property taxation, including law, public finance, decentralization, valuation, and property tax form.

Providing topical and highly relevant material, this text also looks at various efforts to reform the property tax in countries that have systems in place dee.

Local government finance, and in particular the basis of domestic rating, is currently the subject of a major review in Northern Ireland. The authors have conducted empirical research into a comparison between the present rating system and two alternative options—a banded system or a property-specific discrete-value system. Derry City Council is used as a case study to gauge the likely redistributive effects of changes to the system. The findings are seen as significant in describing the effects of each policy regime at a local level in terms of winners and losers. In addition, the impact of the policy options in relation to a measure of income deprivation was investigated. The results indicate that a discrete-value system performs best in terms of minimising the effect of rate redistribution and providing for a more fair and equitable local tax.

The aim of this paper is to attempt to measure the effect of location on residential house prices and to endeavour to integrate spatial and aspatial data in terms of developing a hybrid predictive model. The research methodology investigates the traditional hedonic approach to modelling location using multiple regression techniques. Alternative approaches are considered which specifically model the spatial distribution of house prices with the objective of developing location adjustment factors. These approaches are based on the development of surface response techniques such as inverse distance weighting and universal kriging. The results generated from the surfaces created are then calibrated within MRA.
