First published in 1997, this volume emerged in response to the need for material on the research, development, use and application of mass appraisal techniques for ad valorem property tax systems. The primary paradigms discussed include regression, base home technique, adaptive estimation procedure and artificial neural networks. Intending to address a wide range of property types, the authors explored residential, condominiums, retail, office and industrial property as well as agricultural and forestry land.

The rationale for this text arose from a need to establish a forum to publish material on the research and devlopment, use and application of mass appraisal techniques as used in ad valorem property tax systems. The main paradigms covered include various forms of regression (additive, multiplicative, hybrid), base home technique, adaptive estimation procedure, comparable sales analysis, expert systems and artificial neural networks.
