What this means for multifamily underwriting

Remember the 40% assessment ratio: tax = (FMV × 0.40) × millage. Underwrite FMV at purchase price.

Transaction type breakdown

Sale / Acquisition
Medium

Property is assessed annually at 40% of FMV. A recent sale is a strong indicator of FMV and commonly drives the next year's value toward the price.

Refinance
Low

Refinance does not affect FMV determination.

Ownership Transfer
Medium

Ownership change does not cap value; annual FMV review continues.
