ASIE 2016 Frequently Asked Questions

The confidential income and expense data collected in the ASIE is used to improve assessed values of all properties similar to yours.

For the purposes of the ASIE reserves for replacement represents the amortized cost of building components that will wear out before the building that you have replaced during the survey year, for example: a new roof, resurfacing a parking lot, replacement of HVAC systems, upgrading network connectivity. So if you replaced a roof for $20,000 and you anticipate it has a 15-year life then 20,000 / 15 = $1,333 (rounded) is the figure you 'd put in the reserves for replacement. Try to remember that figure to use in future ASIEs. Do not include painting, tape and spackle, changing of locks, new light fixtures, or any routine maintenance items in the reserve for replacement.

Your mortgage expense is the product of negotiation between you and your lender. It is not a reflection of your property 's ability to earn income, nor is it an expense generated by the condition, location, age, maintenance or quality of the improvements.
