Statements of assessment procedure and guidelines

Statements of assessment procedures are guides used by property assessors for valuing property. They can be useful in understanding the assessment process.

How the Department of Finance values properties without income and expense information

This policy explains how income-producing properties are valued without Real Property Income and Expense (RPIE) information. The Department of Finance will provide a non-filer list that reflects property owners who were required to file an RPIE form online but who did not file on time. If your RPIE is not filed, we will estimate the value of your property based on other information. This may not be to your benefit. The law authorizes penalties for late filing or failure to file.

If you have already filed your RPIE or believe your property is listed in error please contact us. If you have not filed, we encourage you to file your RPIE Online.
