The value of your property reflects its market value on July 1 of the second fiscal year preceding the first for which it is conceived.

The value of your property reflects its market value on July 1 of the second fiscal year preceding the first for which it is conceived.Example:
Roll 2004 reflects the July 1, 2002 market
Roll 2007 reflects the July 1, 2005 marketThe market value is defined as the most probable selling price in a free and open market (Art.43 L.F.M.).The appraiser can use three methods: the comparison, the cost and the income.The comparison approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by comparing it to similar properties which have been sold.The cost approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by adding a property’s land value to the depreciated cost of the building. This cost is obtained by subtracting depreciation from the current replacement cost new which includes labour and materials.The income approach
This approach is used to determine the most probable selling price of a given property by capitalizing its net operating income at a rate stemming from similar type properties which have been sold.

Changes to your property
Some renovations or improvements will not necessarily increase the value of your property by an amount equal to their cost. For instance, spending $10,000 to renovate your basement will not automatically result in a $10,000 increase in the value of your property. Regular maintenance work such as replacing the roof, repaving the driveway, applying a few coats of paint or changing a carpet does not increase the value of your property.
