Do not confuse CONDITION and original QUALITY of construction. ?Condition? carries the following county-wide definitions, and will seriously affect the estimate of depreciation. Judge CDU for each building, in turn, according to the standard expressed herein. Business Rule: Do not judge CDU using any other standard (i.e. any other neighborhood structure). Enter the CDU code at the building level or leave the building?s CDU field as null. If Business Rule: null the CAMA system will apply the general CDU for the parcel?s neighborhood.

Residential: Descriptive codes may be added during the life of this revaluation cycle. The CAMA module?s Cost and MarketApproaches operate as designed for single family properties if the residentialcondominium parcel is described in normal residential terms.The descriptive attribute that is unique to residential condo parcels is whether or not the apartment is an ?end unit?. Appraise each apartment within the condominium project using the standard tools for Business Rule: any residential building, DWELDAT, ADDN and OBY. Be careful to use the Style field to define whether a residential condo unit is a End Unit or a Middle Unit. Residential High Rise: Descriptive codes may be added during the life of this revaluation cycle. This type of property is unique in that the ?floor? (number) of the unit and its orientation (view) are two additional unique variables in the value of the individual condominium project which must be incorporated in the descriptive attributes of each parcel. However there are two severely limiting issues inherent in the designof CAMA module?s High Rise CondoAppraisal sub-module: (1) The table structure implemented to recognize floor position and view are county-widein nature, and cannot efficiently recognize the differences in value from one project to another; (2) The Market Approach requires the description of view and floor position to be recorded in the Condo High Rise module to prepare a Market Approach. Appraise each apartment within the high rise condominium project using the Business Rule: standard High Rise module tools. Be careful to use the Style field to define whether a residential condo unit is an End Unit (corner) or a Middle Unit. However, be aware that this module is set up only to recordthe individual apartment?s attributes for use in the Market Approach. This module will not accurately appraise the apartment parcel located in a high rise condominium project. Therefore also list each apartment within the high rise condominium project using the High Rise Appraisal Module in the MS Access database. Use all appropriate descriptive attributes such as heated area, floor, view, etc. which the Access-based application will read. Override the resulting market adjusted Cost Approach estimate of value into the APRVAL table in the CAMA module. Commercial: Descriptive codes may be added during the life of this revaluation cycle. The CAMA module?s Cost and income Approaches operate as designed for commercial and industrial properties if the commercial condominium parcel is described in normal commercialterms. Appraise each unit within the condominium project using the standard tools for any Business Rule: commercial building, COMDAT, COMINTEXT, COMFEAT,and OBY.

CodeDescription Yes 1 No 2 Page 14New Hanover County Tax Office LAND The primary code for appraising land is the Land Code. The LPCODE table validates Land Codes for use in a given neighborhood. With the assistance of the CAMA software vendor, the appraisal staff developed a schema for land appraisal able to accurately reflect the location, use, and the size of individual parcels, or parts thereof, and respond to other influences on land value . All commercial land not required for the production of income must be identified as Business Rule: ?residual? (to the production of income under the present use of the parcel). LP57, LPCODE Land CodeLOV Screen:Table: While LOCATION is the most important variable element in valuing land, the CAMA system handles ?location? by the appraisal staff assignment of a parcel to a Neighborhood. There is a ?location? code that refines the location of a parcel within its neighborhood. Please refer to Land Influences, Location. The second most important variable element in the value of land is the zoning in force, which governs the legal uses of the parcel.

P Appendix 4 - Code Definition and Business RulesPage 43 QUALITY GRADE CA42, RCFACT LOV Screen:Table Non-professionals have an unfortunate tendency to confuse Condition and Quality. The quality of original construction is set during original construction or during a major remodeling effort (rebuilt from the bone structure out).Quality Grade does not change because a structure is in poor Condition, even if the structure is literally falling down. The same concepts (if not the same exact codes) are used in Residential, Commercial, and OBY grading for quality. OBY only uses the ?whole? grades ?A?, ?B?, ?C?, ?D?, and ?E?. Judge Quality Grade for each building, in turn, according to the standard expressed Business Rule: herein. Do not judge Quality Grade using any other standard (i.e. any other neighborhood structure). Use a TWO STEP process to judge Quality Grade: (1) decide the ?whole? Grade Business Rule: (?E?, ?D?, ?C?, ?B?, ?A?, ?AA?, ?S?); (2) only then decide if a given the building is ?+? or ?-?. Enter the Quality Grade code at the building level or leave the building?s Grade field Business Rule: as null. If null the CAMA system will apply the general Grade for the parcel?s neighborhood. Never enter a separate GRADE code for an addition, residential or commercial.

Appendix 4 - Code Definition and Business RulesPage 57 Residential TIMESHARE Appraisal Rules A ?timeshared? property represents a unique appraisal challenge. The developer of a suitable property first divided the ownership in much the same way that a Declaration of Condominium divides the ownership of a given building into unique living spaces and commonly owned elements. Then a further division in the rights of ownership occurred as the developer numbered each of the fifty two weeks in a given year (or each of the one hundred and four weeks in two years) and sold the resulting ?time-bytes? to individual owners. When such a physical property is viewed as a whole and under the operational management of one entity that is the de facto property manager / agent for all time-byte-owners, all rights of ownership, to include possession, are viewed as being intact as represented by that entity. Under N.C.G.S. 105-302(c)(13), which states ? Real property, owned under a time-sharing arrangementbut managed by a homeowners association or other managing entity, shall be listed in the the Tax Administrator?s Office must appraise each such property name of the managing entity.? as a whole but considering the contribution of each of the parts, under one Parcel ID. Because the Cost Approach is unable to analyze the contribution of the time-bytesin Business Rule: a timeshared property, the appraiser will recognize such unique parts of a time-shared property and utilize the Market Approach and/or the Income Approach to analyze same. Page 58New Hanover County Tax Office SALE Qualification Procedures When a deed is placed on the public record maintained by the office of the Registrar of Deeds, the Registrar collects an Excise Tax on the ?new money? in the transaction. The Tax Administrator?s staff use this tax to infer the sale price of the parcel. The appraisal staff must confirm these ?raw? (calculated) sale prices before the sale can be used in the Market Approach or for other analytical purposes. There are three waysthis may occur: (1) The staff combs through all sales, removing those between obviously related parties, foreclosures, tax deeds, and the like. The staff then mails a ?survey? questionnaire to the buyer. Among other details, this survey requests the seller confirm the selling price and report any personal property or concessions-of-sale. Where the returned survey confirms the selling price, the net price (after the listed Business Rule: contribution of any personal property to the sale price or cost of any concessions is subtracted) the reviewing appraiser may qualify the sale price, as adjusted, for further use by the Tax Administrator. The selling price thus confirmed in writing, whether or not it equals the raw sale price calculated from the Excise Tax or as adjusted above, is prima fascia evidence of the actual consideration paid. (2) The staff currently has access to the Realtor?s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) file of sales. This file is a rich source of information about each transaction, and lists the actual selling price for each. Where the MLS selling price equals the raw selling price calculated from the Excise Business Rule: Tax with no personal property or concessions indicated, the reviewing appraiser may consider the MLS selling price to be prima fascia confirmation of the consideration paid, and qualify the sale. Where the MLS selling price does not equal the raw selling price, the appraiser must Business Rule: confirm the sale directly with a knowledgeable party. The name and phone number of the listing agent and the selling agent are in the MLS record. Only after documenting this contact may the reviewing appraiser qualify the MLS sale price, as adjusted, as the actual consideration paid. (3) From time-to-time an appellant may submit a ?fee? Appraisal Report in an appeal or the staff is otherwise in contact with an appraiser North Carolina certified for ?fee? appraisal work. Any confirmed sale price contained in a submitted Appraisal Report or otherwise Business Rule: relayed by a North Carolina-certified fee appraiser may be accepted as prima fascia evidence of the actual consideration paid. If the reviewingappraiser finds such an outside-confirmed sale price is in conflict with an already qualified sale price, the appraiser must re-contact the source of the sale data to re-confirm the sale price listed on the CAMA system?s records or disqualify the sale for all uses. The CAMA system has two fields designedto record selling price, and three fields designed to qualify the sale, further define, and/or otherwise document the sale. Present codes to be used for these purposes are documented under other headings, below. Price:Unadjusted and/or uncorrected Sale Price; Adjusted Price:Corrected or otherwise adjusted Sale Price; Sale Validity:Codes for use in qualifying or disqualifying a given sale for service; Sale Source:Codes for identifying the source of actual sale price information; and Sale Type:Codes indicating whether the parcel sold as vacant land, or as improved (a building). A sale is ?improved? only by a building(s) or significantOBY item(s). ?Vacant? Business Rule: sales may have numerous less significant OBY items.

Page 92New Hanover County Tax Office BUSINESS RULE SUMMARY Parcel-Level Business RulesAppendix 1 - The highest and best use of vacant land is dictated by the2 Highest and Best Use permanent zoning (or with the existence of temporary zoning-in-force, by the most likely permanent zoning) in force on the Effective Date of Appraisal. A property may be considered as under temporary zoning if the use of the land is tightly restricted to only one named use and owner is required to go through the entire zoning process to put the parcel to any other use, to include uses permitted prior to the last change. The appraiser will consider the cost of re-zoning the property to its most likely permanent zoning-in- force and the effect of the passage of time between January 1, 2007 and the time the likely date of such a change. 2 - Appraise land in interim use for its ?highest and best use? according to2 Interim Use Parcel Level Business Rule 1. The appraiser will recognize the estimated holding period (until the market is ready for to accept the highest and best use of the property in interim use) and the likely cost to re-zone the property. 32 In cases where the Income Approach clearly demonstratesthat a Mis-Improvement - commercial or industrial building(s) is a mis-improvement to the land, the existence of the building(s) must be recognized by placing a sound value (a residual value) on the individual building. 4For mass appraisal purposes, consider the present use of improved2 Mis-Improvement - land is considered to be the highest and best use, except where the present use is in conflict with permanent zoning-in-force on the parcel. A clear example is a residential structure, used as a residence but located in an area of predominantly commercial uses, on land zoned for commercial use. Such non-conforming uses are generally permitted under zoning regulations and where not permitted, the use is usually "grand fathered". However continued use as a residence is clearly not the ?highest and best use? of the property. Appraise the land of such property for its highest and best use as though vacant (see ParcelLevel Business Rule #1). Appraise the structure accordingto its contribution to the value as a whole but consider its non-conforming use (which usually means applying significant Economic Obsolescence). Always leave clear notes regarding your reasoning in the file. 52 The Highest and Best Use of vacant land is dictated by the permanent Mis-Improvement - zoning (or with the existence of temporary zoning-in-force, by the most likely permanent zoning) in force on the Effective Date of Appraisal. A property may be considered as under temporary zoning if the use of the land is tightly restricted to only one named use and owner is required to go through the entire re-zoning process to put the parcel to any other use. Land rates in the neighborhood are best estimated by analyzing sales of similarly zoned vacant land in the same neighborhood, or a highly similar neighborhood. Appendix 4 - Code Definition and Business RulesPage 93 Parcel-Level Business RulesAppendix 6 Where multiple residential buildings2 Commercial Residential on Residential Land occur on one parcel zoned for residential use, residential appraisers will use the commercial algorithms (Built-as Codes R1F, R2F, R3F, and R4F) to appraise the parcel. The middle number in this series of codes defines the number of families each such structure is designed to house. 72 - If a given property is clearly in an INTERIM USE (see definition in Zoning (Temporary) Appendix 2) and the jurisdiction allows only one named use for the property, the appraiser will consider the named specific use to be a temporary zoning-in-force. That a parcel has Temporary Zoning will in no manner represent or limit the most likely highest and best use of the parcel. Appraise land in interim use under temporary zoning-in- force for its most likely highest and best use, considering the permitted uses of surrounding and nearby parcels, and the current demand for a change to the most likely highest and best use. The appraiser must recognize: (1) the cost of re-zoning the parcel; and (2) the holding period, during which the interim use is likely to continue while market demand increases for a change to the most likely highest and best use. LAND - Land Business RulesAppendix 14 - All adjustments to Land Line values must be accompanied by an explanation General that makes use of one of the Appraiser Adjustment codes, either in the Neighborhood Brochure or in the parcel-level note fields where the appraiser elects to use a different adjustment than specified in the Brochure. 2 2- All commercial land not required for the production of4 Commercial Residual Land income must be identified as "residual" (to the production of income under the present use of the parcel). 34 - This code used to convert data from the old L2 - Location, Shape Adjustment Code CAMA system.

Page 94New Hanover County Tax Office DWELDAT - Residential Building Business RulesAppendix 1 - New Hanover County has numerous structures that have a fractional story4 ATTIC height. Rather than code this upper space as one or another kind of attic, the county has elected to assume such structure's upper level space is BASE area (finished to the grade of the main floor living area). If the roof pitch of a structure is such that it is a fractional story AND the upper level space is not finished,recordthe unfinishedamount of area in the Unfinished Area field on Other Features. If the space is finished to sub-grade standards subtract the finish as above and addition codes AFM, AFR. 22 - If a house has an elevated roof pitch and/or dormers but was constructed Attic Finish using a roof truss system that cannot be used (even for dry storage), charge the DWELDAT record with Unfinished Area (removes the finish). See STORY HEIGHT and ROOF PITCH 3 - New Hanover County elected to use Other Features' User Fields 7, 8, and 94 Basement to record the area of three types of "local basement": (1) Excavated; (2) Pilings (beach basement); (3) Concrete Block (old style beach and split-level basements).It is these three fields that will "price" a residential basement. However in addition to entering the area in one of the above three User Fields, use the installed codes for Full and Part Basement, to officially flag to the system that the building has a "basement". 44 - Do not use this optional field. Rather, use the Addition Code Basement Garage, Cars "GUB" (Garage Under Base) to list a "Basement Garage". GUB only provides a concrete slab and overhead doors, it does not dig any holes. 5 - Never enter a CDU code for a residential building addition. Consider the4 CDU building as a whole when rating its CDU. 64 - Enter the CDU code at the building level or leave the building's CDU field as CDU null. If null the CAMA system will apply the general CDU for the parcel's neighborhood. 7 - The field should only be used to modify RCNLD value within the4 Cost and Design range of percentages shown in the description field for the C & D Reason codes below. 82 - ALWAYS know the dollar change in value arising from Economic Obsolescence applying EO to a building, being certain the percentage used addresses the problem sufficiently but does not overstate the cure, and ALWAYS explain any applied EO thoroughly in notes. 9 - Judge the Effective Year Built of any structure according to the thought4 Effective Year process described in the discussion of Effective Year Built in Appendix 2. Appendix 4 - Code Definition and Business RulesPage 95 DWELDAT - Residential Building Business RulesAppendix 10 - Record the accurate count of openings and/or stacks for fireplaces2 Fireplaces (masonry or prefab). If the fireplace is closed off, determine the reason and enter sufficient Functional Obsolescence to account for the cost to return the fireplace to functional service. Do not write the fireplace's contribution completely off via FO unless the stack (chimney) must be replaced from the ground up. Always explain any applied Functional Obsolescence thoroughly in notes. 112 - ALWAYS know the dollar change in value arising from Functional Obsolescence applying FO to a building, being certain the percentage used addresses the problem sufficiently but does not overstate the cure, and ALWAYS explain any applied FO thoroughly in notes. 12 - All adjustments to building values must be accompanied by an4 Market Adjustment explanation that makes use of one of the following codes. These codes may be modified from time-to-time. 134 - All Market Adjustments to building values must be accompanied Market Adjustment by an explanation that makes use of one of the following codes. These codes may be modified from time-to-time. 14 - Judge Quality Grade for each building, in turn, according to the4 Quality Grade standard expressed herein. Do not judge Quality Grade using any other standard (i.e. any other neighborhood structure). 154 - Use a TWO STEP process to judge Quality Grade: (1) decide the Quality Grade "whole" Grade ("E", "D", "C", "B", "A", "AA", "S"); (2) only then decide if a given the building is "+" or "-". 16 - Enter the Quality Grade code at the building level or leave the4 Quality Grade building's Grade field as null. If null the CAMA system will apply the general Grade for the parcel's neighborhood. 174 - Never enter a separate GRADE code for an addition, residential or Quality Grade commercial. 18 - When a timeshared property is viewed as a whole and under2 Residential Timeshare the operational management of one entity that is the de facto property manager / agent for all time-owners, all rights of ownership, to include possession, are viewed as being intact as represented by that entity. Therefore the Tax Administrator's Office will appraise each such property as a whole, under one Parcel ID, for fee simple market value. The management company will have sole responsibility to apportion the resulting annual tax liability among the several time-owners. 194 - When the appraiser encounters a residential building that appears to Story Height have a fractional story height (anything other than 1.00, 2.00. 3.00 or 4.00 stories), first determine the extent of any unfinished area (whether due to "truss" construction or "cathedral ceilings").Enter all such unfinished area(s) into the DWELDAT, Other Features field for Unfinished Area. Page 96New Hanover County Tax Office DWELDAT - Residential Building Business RulesAppendix 20 - Check the structure to determine whether or not the4 Style Code DW - Double Wide moving hitch is attached, and whether or not the axles and/or the wheels are attached before applying this code. 214 - Always check for and record the VIN number of the Style Code DW - Double Wide structure. 22 - Measure and list a garage apartment structure as4 Style Code GA - Garage Apartment a 1.** (fractional story) building with a Concrete Block/Frame basement. Use the addition code GUB to define "Garage Under Base", which allows for overhead doors and concrete slab.List and sketch any living area downstairs as finished basement area. 234 - Be certain a structure that appears to be a garage Style Code GA - Garage Apartment apartment has functioning kitchen and bath facilities. If not, list the structure as an OBY item. 24 - Split-level style structures must be listed as4 Style Code SL - Split Level, Bi-Level being a one story structure with a "concrete block" basement (full or part depending upon the structure's design). 254 - Check the structure to determine whether or not the Style Code SW - Single Wide moving hitch is attached, AND whether or not the axles and/or the wheels are attached before applying this code. 26 - Check for and record the VIN #.4 Style Code SW - Single Wide 274 - A neighborhood, as grouped with similar neighborhoods, Style Code VN - Vernacular is such a "place".Each cluster of neighborhoods will have defined "vernacular" for itself. Use this code when a building represents a common style in the neighborhood's cluster (model) AND fails to clearly fit any other Style definition cataloged above. 28 - Because the Cost Approach is unable to analyze the contribution of the4 Timeshare time-bytes in a timeshared property, the appraiser will recognize such unique parts of a time-shared property and utilize the Market Approach and/or the Income Approach to analyze same.

Market Approach Business RulesAppendix 1 - Where the returned sales survey confirms the selling4 Sale Qualification Procedures price, the net price (after the listed contribution of any personal property to the sale price or cost of any concessions is subtracted) the reviewing appraiser may qualify the sale price, as adjusted, for further use by the Tax Administrator. The selling price thus confirmed in writing, whether or not it equals the raw sale price calculated from the Excise Tax or as adjusted above, is prima fascia evidence of the actual consideration paid. 24 - Where the MLS selling price equals the raw selling price Sale Qualification Procedures calculated from the Excise Tax with no personal property or concessions indicated, the reviewing appraiser may consider the MLS selling price to be prima fascia confirmation of the consideration paid, and qualify the sale. 3 - Where the MLS selling price does not equal the raw4 Sale Qualification Procedures selling price, the appraiser must confirm the sale directly with a knowledgeable party. The name and phone number of the listing agent and the selling agent are in the MLS record. Only after documenting this contact may the reviewing appraiser qualify the MLS sale price, as adjusted, as the actual consideration paid. 44 - Any confirmed sale price contained in a submitted Sale Qualification Procedures Appraisal Report or otherwise relayed by a North Carolina-certified fee appraiser may be accepted as prima fascia evidence of the actual consideration paid.If the reviewing appraiser finds such an outside-confirmed sale price is in conflict with an already qualified sale price, the appraiser must re-contact the source of the sale data to re-confirm the sale price listed on the CAMA system's records or disqualify the sale for all uses. 5 - A sale is ?improved? only by a building(s) or very4 Sale Qualification Procedures significant OBY item. ?Vacant? sales may have numerous less significant OBY item(s). Income Approach Business RulesAppendix 1- If the estimate of Total Value for a given parcel (via the Income2 Mis-Improvement Approach) is less than the land value for that parcel via the CALP module, the appraiser must carefully check and adjust all components of the Income and CALP modules. Should the Income module's Total Value remain equal to or below the estimate of land value after close review, the structure(s) on the land will represent an economic mis-improvement to the land. The appraiser will apply sufficient Functional Obsolescence to recognize the existence of the improvements with a residual value (and very carefully note the reason). Page 104New Hanover County Tax Office Income Approach Business RulesAppendix 2- Residual Land is that part of a parcel's land area that is not currently2 Residual Land engaged in generating income for the owner. The appraiser must identify all such land and use the appropriate Land Code in the CALP module to describe such "inactive" land.
