Appraisal Database and Information

Presents a case study of the British Columbia Assessment Authority(BCAA) that has been a leader in the development of comprehensive data systems for use in mass appraisal. Uses this to illustrate a considered approach to addressing the issues. Reviews the types of analysis typically undertaken by appraisers and specifically how this is done by BCAA. Notes that these programmes integrate the typical valuation process with the requirements to manage and organise mass data files.
