Hospitality Property Assessments

For valuation purposes, hospitality properties include: golf courses, hotels, long-term care homes, motels and retirement homes. Hospitality properties are primarily valued using the income approach, which assigns value based on a property’s potential to generate revenue.

How hospitality properties are assessed

We use the income approach for most hospitality properties, based on your property’s potential to generate revenue. To do this, we:

Start by estimating the property's gross revenue potential.
Subtract operating expenses.
Apply a capitalization rate or gross income multiplier to the net operating income.
