Industrial Property Assessments

General-purpose industrial properties in Ontario have the following characteristics:

  • May include warehousing, light manufacturing or other general industrial uses.
  • Multi-purpose buildings that typically include office space.
  • Special-purpose features are limited.
  • Can usually be converted to another use without extensive alterations.

How is your industrial property assessed

We use the cost approach to assess the value of most general-purpose industrial properties. We do this by:

  1. Estimating the replacement cost of your buildings and structures.
  2. Adjusting that cost for any depreciation in the actual property being valued (which includes physical deterioration and obsolescence).
  3. Adding the value of your land.
