A New Way to Value Non-Filing Taxpayers
in your Jurisdiction
Every year, assessment officials are faced with the identification and valuation
of personal property accounts which fail or refuse to file required forms with the
city or county. CAVS has been created
to help in this effort. CAVS consists
of reliable average values for smaller business establishments and integrated worksheets
for the assessor’s office to use in the listing and assessment process.
While you may not receive the information you need, you do not have to resort
to guesswork. CAVS will give you the
basis to feel confident in your efforts and get the job done.
What’s so great about CAVS?
What are the benefits of using CAVS?
Where do we begin? CAVS gives you a
basis for valuing businesses that refuse to file.
You can see a list of equipment associated with business types.
You can generate your own variations based on local factors.
You can work online from anywhere; a browser approach leaves software behind. Beyond that, yearly updates are provided
without requiring you to load new software, download, or schedule a technical visit. And these are just the tip:
- Main page with searchable business types by description and SIC code
-
Modify the business by average, above average, and below average classifications
-
Ability to customize your business valuation with business names, addresses, parcel
identification, account codes, and contact numbers
-
List of expected equipment and estimated values for each asset lending detailed
and accurate estimates of value
-
The ability to add equipment specific to a particular business
-
Adjustment factors to include obsolescence or other concerns
-
Total value is updated to include all changes made by the jurisdiction staff
-
Ability to add notes for each business as needed
-
Printable for your records, save versions to reopen next year
But the benefits extend beyond your office.
Knowing what kinds of equipment are associated with particular business types lets
you talk intelligently to taxpayers.
Knowing costs gives you the ability to know, too, what the average and expected
investment should be. Beyond all the
information you will have at your finger-tips, you will also see an increase in
compliance in future years.
