  • Appraisal: A determination of property value.
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
     (c) The true tax value of a self-service storage facility must be determined based solely on the land and the improvements, less normal depreciation and normal obsolescence, and must exclude business intangible value. Business intangible value is any value of the self-service storage facility and related business operations in excess of the depreciated replacement cost of the improvements and the value of the land.

     (d) The true tax value of a self-service storage facility is the lowest valuation determined by applying each of the following appraisal approaches and excluding business intangible value:

(1) Cost approach that includes an estimated reproduction or replacement cost of buildings and land improvements as of the date of valuation, together with estimates of the losses in value that have taken place due to wear and tear, design and plan, and other depreciation and obsolescence.

(2) Sales comparison approach, using data for generally comparable property.

(3) Income capitalization approach, using an applicable capitalization method and appropriate capitalization rates that are developed and used in computations that lead to an indication of value commensurate with the risks for the subject property use.
