3. Transactions, revenue, and cost data relevant to the subject
   property.


Article 12
A real estate appraiser should collect comparable properties according
to the principles as follows:
1. The value of comparable properties conforms to the definition of
   market value, or could be adjusted to market value, or falls into
   the same type of value as the subject property.

The following matters should be investigated on-site to verify
conditions of the subject property:
1. Verification of the basic data and legal status of the subject
   property.
2. Investigation of current use conditions of the subject property
   and comparable properties.
3. Verification of individual data affecting property value.
4. Taking records and photographing necessary pictures in a film or
   electronic form.
It needs to be stated in the appraisal report if the client does not
guide the appraiser to the appraised subject and that leads to the
boundary of the subject property being unsure or being unable to enter
the subject property.

 

Article 14

appraisal report.


Article 15
A real estate appraiser should undertake a comprehensive comparison
between the indicated values obtained through different approaches,
and examine those indicated values that are significantly different
from others. The appraiser also needs to reconcile different values
and determine the final value of the subject property, based on data
reliability, differences in conditions of appraisal types and
objectives, and the degree of similarity in formation of values,
and specifies the reasons for reaching the final value.
When contract rent is adopted as the basis for distributing trust
interest in securities of real estate securitization, income value
through discounted cash flow method shall, based on the above
criterion, be given a greater weight. An exception is applicable to
a property under real estate securitization for the purpose of
liquidation.

Article 17
All description of facts in an appraisal report should be clear and
definite. All uncertain matters should be stated in the appraisal
report with regard to their possible influence on the rights or
value of the subject property.


Chapter III Appraisal Approaches


Article 18
Sales comparison approach is a method, which based on the value of
the comparable properties is through comparison, analysis, adjustment
and other means to estimate the value of the subject property
comparing.
The value estimated in accordance with the approach in the previous
paragraph is sales comparison value.


Article 19
Definitions of terms referred to in this Section are as follows:
1. Condition adjustments: the adjustments made when some conditions
   in respect of price formation of the comparable properties differ
   from normal ones, or when other conditions exist which might
   influence the price of the comparable properties, such adjustments
   are made to the part of value which is affected.
2. Date adjustments: the adjustments, caused by the price difference
   resulting from the time gap between the transaction date of the
   comparable properties and the date of value of the subject
   property, such adjustments should be made to the values of the
   comparable properties to reach an estimated value of the subject
   property by percentage adjustment or dollar adjustment whichever
   is deemed appropriate.
3. Local factor adjustments: the adjustments needed because the
   selected comparable properties are not within the same
   neighborhood area as the subject property. The values of the
   comparable properties are adjusted to reflect the difference in
   location. Price differences due to the local factors between the
   comparable properties and the subject property should be analyzed
   and adjusted through every individual item.
4. Individual factor adjustments: the adjustments made to the values
   of the comparable properties where the adjustments reflect the
   differences in individual factor between the comparable properties
   and the subject property, and all individual factor should be
   analyzed and adjusted.
5. Percentage method: a method in which local and individual factors
   possibly leading to the value differences between the comparable
   properties and the subject property are individually compared,
   and the values of the comparable properties are adjusted
   according to their comparatively superior or inferior factors
   to those of the subject property in percentage terms.
6. Dollar method: a method in which local and individual factors
   possibly leading to the value differences between the comparable
   properties and the subject property are individually compared,
   and the values of the comparable properties are adjusted
   according to their comparatively superior or inferior factors
   to those of the subject property in dollar terms.
7. Econometric modeling methods: the methods that, following
   collection of a sufficient number of representative comparables,
   through analysis of econometric modeling, establish the
   relationship between the values of comparables and principal
   price-influencing factors so as to estimate the percentage
   adjustment and dollar adjustment of those price factors.


Article 20
The following requirements should be met when applying the econometric
modeling method in the previous article:
1. A number of comparables at least five times more than the number of
   independent variables in an econometric model are required.
2. The adjusted coefficient of determination should not be less than
   0.7 if a regression model is adopted as the econometric model.
3. The probability of coefficients of all key factors, except the
   intercept item, simultaneously being equal to zero should not be
   higher than 0.05.


Article 21
The procedure of sales comparison approach are as follows:
1. Collecting and verifying data related to the comparable properties.
2. Selecting the comparable properties with same or similar
   characteristics to those of the subject property.
3. Undertaking condition adjustments and date adjustments to the
   values of the comparable properties.
4. Deciding to employ percentage or dollar adjustments after
   comparing and analyzing the differences in local and individual
   factors between the comparable properties and the subject property.
5. Calculating the indicated value of the subject property.
6. Determining the sales comparison value of the subject property.
The indicated value, stated in Subparagraph 5 of the previous
paragraph, refers to the value reached after condition adjustments,
date adjustments, local factor adjustments and individual factor
adjustments to the values of the comparable properties.


Article 22
The following matters in respect of the collected comparable
properties should be investigated and verified:
1. Sale price and how the expenses are paid.
2. Sales conditions; if there exist unusual payment methods, and how.
3. Situations in respect of the comparable properties.
4. Sales date.
Matters prescribed in the preceding paragraph that are difficult to
investigate and verify should be specified in an appraisal report.


Article 23
Appropriate adjustments should be made in advance if the following
conditions occur in the comparable properties, the comparable
properties should not be admitted if the conditions affecting the
sale prices could not be effectively taken into consideration and
quantitatively adjusted:
1. Rushed buying or selling, or rushed letting out or renting.
2. Transaction affected by anticipation.
3. Transactions affected by debt.
4. Transactions among relatives.
5. Transactions of fragmented land or land to be assembled with
   others.
6. Transactions with dispute over the improvement upon land.
7. Auctions.
8. Auctions or sales to interested persons of public land.
9. Transactions affected by superstition.
10. Transactions including land for public facilities.
11. Contrived transactions.
12. Transactions with uses against the laws.
13. Other unusual transactions.


Article 24
When implementing value adjustments for the value differences
between the subject property and the comparable properties to account
for the differences in local and individual factors, the percentage
adjustment method should the principal method. The dollar adjustment
method could also be applied, and reasons for employing this method
should be specified in the appraisal report.


Article 25
In the process of calculating adjustments to obtain the indicated
value, the comparable properties should be judged to differ too much
from the subject property and not to be admitted if either the local
factor adjustments or individual factor adjustments, or one of the
items of local factor adjustments or individual factor adjustments
is over 15%, or the combined adjustments to condition, date, local
and individual factors is over 30%. The above restrictions do not
apply when the subject property is with special conditions or on a
special location, thus with scarcity of relevant market sales
information, and these are detailed in the appraisal report.


Article 26
The comparatively higher or lower indicated values of the subject
property should be reexamined. Only the ones, which are examined
and believed to be reasonable, could be used as the base for
determining the sales comparison value. Those indicated values,
after due consideration, whose figures still differ from others
by over 20 percents shall be excluded from further application.
The difference of above-mentioned over 20 percents refers to the
situation that the ratio of difference between the high and low
values to the averaged figure of the high and low values is over
20 percents.


Article 27
A real estate appraiser should adopt at least three comparable
properties, and through the process of estimation and review stated
in the preceding Article, to arrive at the indicated values of the
subject property. The reliability of collected data for comparable
properties, and the degree of similarity in formation of values
between the comparable properties and the subject property are then
taken into account to determine the sales comparison value of the
subject property. In addition, details of all adjustments undertaken
need to be stated.


Article 28
Income approach refers to those methods such as direct capitalization
method and discounted cash flow method. The value estimated according
to this approach in the previous paragraph is income value.


Article 29
Direct capitalization method is a method to estimate the value of the
subject property which apply an appropriate capitalization rate on
the date of value opinion to capitalize the average objective annual
net operating income in the future into an indication of value.


Article 30
Direct capitalization method operates as follows:
Income value = the average objective annual net operating income in
the future / a capitalization rate


Article 31
Discounted cash flow method refers to the method that sums up the
discounted net operating incomes over the future periods of analyzing
cash flow and the property value at the end of the analysis periods
using appropriate discounted rates to estimate the value for the
subject property.
Discounted cash flow method mentioned in the preceding paragraph is
applicable to real estate investment appraisal for investment
purpose.


Article 32
The equation of discounted cash flow method reads as follows:
(the formula see the attached file)
 


Article 33
Estimation and calculation of the objective net operating income of
the subject property should be based on its highest and best use,
and should take into account the income of neighboring similar
properties based on their highest and best uses.
When discounted cash flow method is adopted as the appraisal method
for the purpose of real estate securitization, contract rent shall
be taken to represent the net operating income over analysis periods
for the subject property. This restriction does not apply if special
conditions exist thus contract rent is deemed inappropriate and the
conditions are detailed in the appraisal report.
When the above contract rent is unknown, the market economic rent
shall be used to estimate the objective operating income.


Article 34
The procedures of income approach are as follows:
1. Collecting the data in respect of potential gross income, total
expenses, and capitalization rate or discount rate and etc.
2. Estimating effective gross income.
3. Estimating total expenses.
4. Calculating net operating income.
5. Determining capitalization rate or discount rate.
6. Calculating the income value.


Article 35
Data in respect of potential gross income, total expenses, and
capitalization rate or discount rate, over the last three years,
of the subject property and comparable properties with same or
similar characteristics should be gathered when income approach
is applied.
If difficulties are encountered with collection of the above last
three-year data, relevant details shall be stated in the appraisal
report.
When the data specified in paragraph 1 are colleted, their
reasonableness should be comprehensively judged to verify the
usefulness of those data. The data could also be adjusted
according to their persistence, stability, and growth situation.
When collecting potential gross income data according to Article 34,
property rent can be estimated so as to verify the reasonableness
of the income data.


Article 36
The steps of calculating effective gross income are as follows:
1. Analyzing and estimating the potential gross income of the subject
   property.
2. Estimating the loss of income caused by vacancy and other reasons.
3. The remaining sum of deducting the loss of income stated in the
   preceding paragraph from potential gross income stated in the
   paragraph 1, is the effective gross income of the subject property.
The potential gross income, specified in subparagraph 1 of the
preceding paragraph, refers to the amount of rent or revenue, derived
from the legal lease or operation of the subject property under normal
conditions on the date of value opinion.


Article 37
The following data should be checked and compared with when
calculating potential gross income and effective gross income:
1. Potential gross income and effective gross income of the subject
   property in previous years.
2. Potential gross income and effective gross income in the same
   industry or of the substitutable comparable properties.
3. Potential planned income, at present or in the future.


Article 38
When estimating total expenses of the subject property, including
land value tax or land rent, house tax, insurance premium, management
fee, repair costs and etc, the estimation should be based on the
expenses or number in accounting reports from identical or similar
properties. The total expenses should include operating expenditures
for revenue-generating properties.
When appraisal purpose is for real estate securitization, the total
expenses in the discounted cash flow method shall be estimated based
upon the trust plan.


Article 39
When estimating the total expenses of the subject property, the
replacement allowance for the components of the property that need
to be replaced during its economic life shall be inferred, and these
expenditures be allocated on an annual basis based on its effective
life and consumption ratio.


Article 40
When estimating the total expenses of the subject property, in
addition to all individual expense of this property, for a subject
property that comprises a building, the recapture allowance of the
building should also be included. Or in the case of estimating income
value, not only the capitalization rate or discount rate for building
shall be taken into account, but also the future recapture rate,
based upon the value as of the date of value opinion for the building.


Article 40-1
The recapture allowance of a building can be estimated using the
following formulas
1. Equal depreciation type:(the formula see the attached file)
2. Sinking fund type:(the formula see the attached file)
Estimation of the above building total costs, ratio of salvage value,
interest rate for own capital, and building economic life shall
follow the relevant rules specified in the cost approach.


Article 41
The future recapture rate as of the date of value opinion for a
building can be inferred through the following formula:
1. Equal depreciation type:(the formula see the attached file)
2. Sinking fund type:(the formula see the attached file)
The above depreciation rate is estimated according to relevant rules
specified in cost approach.


Article 42
Net operating income equals effective gross income with deduction of
total expenses.
For net operating income described in the preceding paragraph
accrued to a revenue-generating property, the net operating income
should exclude other net operating income not accrued to the
property.


Article 43
A capitalization rate or discount rate should be determined from a
comprehensive review of the following methods:
1. Risk premium method: The fixed deposit interest rate, government
   bonds rate, real estate investment risk, money supply-demand
   variation, the trend of real estate value and etc. should be
   taken into consideration to decide the likely rate of return on
   the most common investment as a basis in order to derive the
   capitalization rate or discount rate. The differences of
   individual characteristics between the above most common
   investment and the subject property should be compared in terms
   of their liquidity, risk, appreciation, and management.
2. Market extraction method: Selecting several comparable
   properties, which are identical with or similar to the subject
   property, followed by dividing their respective net operating
   income price and comparing the resulting to determine quotients
   the capitalization rate.
3. Weighted average capital cost method: The formula based upon
   weighted average capital cost is as follows:(the formula see
   attached file)
4. Debt coverage ratio method: The formula based upon debt coverage
   ratio is as follows:
   Capitalization rate or discount rate = debt coverage ratio x
   mortgage constant x the ratio of mortgaged capital to property
   price
5. Effective gross income multiplier method: The formula based upon
   the due net operating income rate that is derived as the ratio
   of annual net operating income to annual effective total income
   for similar properties in the market, and based upon effective
   gross income multiplier that is derived as reasonable price
   divided by annual effective gross income is as follows:
   Capitalization rate or discount rate = net operating income rate
    / effective gross income multiplier
Relevant details are required to be stated in the appraisal report
shall a need arise to employ other methods than those specified in
this Article to determine capitalization rate or discount rate.


Article 44
Land income value is estimated according to the following
calculations:
1. With no building on land:
   Land income value = land net operating income / land
   capitalization rate
2. With buildings on land:
   Land income value = (built-up property net operating income -
   building net operating income) / land capitalization rate
Building net operating income is estimated according to the following
calculations:
1. With deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Building net operating income = building cost value x building
   capitalization rate
2. Without deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Building net operating income prior to recapture allowance =
   building cost value x (building capitalization rate + the future
   recapture rate based upon the value on the date of value opinion)


Article 45
Building income value is estimated according to the following
calculations:
1. With deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Building income value = building net operating income / building
   capitalization rate
   Building income value = (built-up property net operating income -
   land net operating income) / building capitalization rate
2. Without deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Building income value = building net operating income prior to
   recapture deduction / (building capitalization rate + the future
   recapture rate based upon the value on the date of value opinion)
   Building income value = (built-up property net operating income
   prior to recapture allowance - land net operating income) /
   (building capitalization rate or discount rate+ the future
   recapture rate based upon the value on the date of value opinion)
Land net operating income stated in the above paragraph may be
calculated by estimation of land value through sales comparison
approach multiplied by land capitalization rate.


Article 46
Built-up property income value is estimated according to the following
calculations:
Built-up property income value = built-up property net operating
income / built-up property capitalization rate
Built-up property capitalization rate could be estimated, in addition
to specification in Article 43, according to the following formula:
1. With deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Built-up property capitalization rate = land capitalization rate x
   land value ratio + building capitalization rate or discount rate x
   building value ratio
2. Without deduction of recapture allowance from net operating income:
   Built-up property capitalization rate = land capitalization rate x
   land value ratio + (building capitalization rate+ the future
   recapture rate based upon the value on the date of value opinion)
   x building value ratio
Determination of land value ratio and building value ratio mentioned
in the preceding paragraph should take into consideration the
analysis of data collected from the local property market or the
result of other appraisal approaches.


Article 47
The income value over a certain period of time is estimated according
to the following calculations:(the formula see the attached file)
Average annual net operating income prior to consideration of
recapture could be derived by applying the above formula if the
income value is known.
If a period-end value is present, when the period that generates
income comes to an end, the discounted present period-end value can be
added to the income value. In addition, costs relevant to the disposal
of this property at the end of the period can be subtracted from the
period-end value.


Article 48
Cost approach refers to an approach to estimating the value of the
subject property, by deducting the accrued depreciation or other item
due to be subtracted from the reproduction or replacement cost, based
on the date of value opinion.
The value estimated according to the approach in the previous
paragraph is cost value.
It is the reproduction cost that should be estimated in appraising
a building. But the replacement cost could be adopted in the case
that the materials in the building construction are no longer in
production or the construction method has been changed.
Reproduction cost refers to the cost for duplication of a building
using identical or highly similar material standard, design, layout,
and construction quality with the subject property on the date of
value opinion.
Replacement cost refers to the cost for construction of a building
using modern material standard, design, and layout to provide utility
equivalent to the subject property on the date of value opinion.


Article 49
The procedures of cost approach are as follows:
1. Collecting data.
2. On-site survey.
3. Investigating, compiling, comparing, and analyzing individual
   cost and related expenses and etc.
4. Choosing a proper method to estimating construction or building
   cost.
5. Estimating other costs and profits.
6. Calculating total costs.
7. Estimating accrued depreciation of the building.
8. Calculating cost value.

2. Design blueprint.
3. Relevant permission or license.
4. Construction plan booklet.
5. Drawing of a completed building.
6. Operating license.
7. Registration transcript or flat location drawing of a building.


Article 51
In applying cost approach, the following data within the same
primary market area with the subject property should be collected:
1. Price level of individual construction material and labor.
2. Costs for building, construction, planning, design, advertisement,
   sales, management, tax, and etc.
3. Interest rate on capital.
4. Profit rate on development or construction.


Article 52

2. Planning and design fee.
3. Advertisement and sales fee.
4. Management fee.
5. Tax and other burden.
6. Capital interest.
7. Development or construction profit.
For the subject property stated in the preceding paragraph that is
land or includes land, its total costs should include the land value
on the date of value opinion.
Every calculation process should be accurately stated in the cost
value calculation sheet.


Article 53
The construction or building costs of the subject property consist
of the following items:
1. Direct material cost.
2. Direct labor cost.
3. Indirect material cost.
4. Indirect labor cost.
5. Management fee.
6. Tax.
7. Capital Interest.
8. Construction or building profit.


Article 54
Construction or building cost of the subject property can be derived
according to one of the following methods:
1. Direct method: Investigating the kind, grade and volume of
   materials employed and kind and time duration of labor needed for
   the component or whole parts of the subject property, and on the
   basis of the respective unit price of materials and labor on the
   date of value opinion in the area where the subject property is
   located to calculate the construction or building cost.
2. Indirect method: Following the selection of the comparable
   properties similar to the subject property or the standard
   building within the neighborhood or similar area of the primary
   market area, the differences of conditions in respect of
   construction or building costs between the comparable properties
   or the standard building and the subject property are compared
   and adjusted by price to derive the construction or building cost
   of the subject property.


Article 55
The direct method comprises two approaches as follows:
1. Quantity survey method: Multiplying the unit price and wage by
   volumes of needed building materials and labor for the subject
   property added by management fee, tax, capital interest and profit.
2. Unit-in-place method: Multiplying the unit price by volumes of
   individual item for constructing a building and sum them up.


Article 56
The indirect method comprises two approaches as follows:
1. Building cost comparison method: Comparing the differences of
   individual preliminary construction items between the subject
   property and the comparable properties or the standard building
   to derive the construction or building cost through adjustment
   by construction price and construction volume ratio.
2. Unit square (or Cubic) method: On the basis of unit square (cubic)
   construction or building cost of comparable properties or the
   standard building to adjust price for the differences between
   them and the subject property by comparison, multiplied by the
   square (cubic) units of the subject property to derive the
   construction or building cost of the subject property.
The standard building stated in the above paragraph refers to the
building constructed or built in accordance with the construction
or building cost standard table.
The construction or building cost standard table stated in the
preceding paragraph should be announced by the National Association
of Real Estate Appraiser Guilds (“National Association” is hereafter
called) based on different kinds of main building structure and
areas. Prior to announcement being made, the construction or
building cost is estimated on the basis of the standard unit price
table for the purpose of investigating land value promulgated by
Special Municipality or County / City government.


Article 57
In the case that the subject property is a building, planning and
design fee is calculated, according to the architect service fee
table instituted by the Ministry of Interior and the construction
cost table for the building license promulgated by Special
Municipalities or County / City governments, or estimated as 2% to
3% of actual construction or building cost.


Article 58
Capital interest of the subject property should be calculated,
according to capital installments and duration of capital invested,
to derive interest amount respectively for own capital and capital
loaned. The ratio of own capital to loaned capital is estimated on
the basis of bank’s general mortgage percentage.
The capital interest stated in the preceding paragraph should be
derived by multiplying interest rate by the sum of building or
construction fee, planning and design cost, advertisement and sales
fee, management fee, tax and other burden.
For the subject property stated in paragraph 1 that is land or one
that includes land, land value shall be added into the sum depicted
in the previous paragraph.


Article 59
The interest rate for own capital should not be higher than annual
rate of a saving account and not be lower than the rate of a current
account, and the interest rate for loaned capital should be based
on the bank’s short-term loan interest rate. Capital resulting from
pre-sale income should not be counted in calculating interest.


Article 60
Construction or building profit of the subject property should be
estimated by multiplying the sum of construction or building cost,
planning and design fee, advertisement and sales fee, management fee,
tax and other burden by a proper rate of return after taking into
consideration the project scale, project duration, economic
conditions and other factors.
The rate of return stated in the preceding paragraph should be
regularly announced by National Association regularly, and
determined by reference to the average operation rate of return in
construction or building industry before National Association has
announced it. The rate of return for different types of construction
or building could also be adjusted after taking into consideration
the operating risk and duration of construction or building.
The duration of construction or building stated in the preceding
paragraph refers to the uninterrupted period of time between the
applications of a building permit through completion of the building
ready for transfer.
For the subject property stated in paragraph 1 that is land or one
that includes land, land value shall be added into the sum depicted
in the previous paragraph.


Article 61
Advertisement fee, sales fee, management fee and tax should be
determined as the total costs multiplied by respective tariffs of
various fees. The respective tariffs for various fees shall be
regularly announced by the National Association.


Article 62
Advertisement fee, sales fee, management fee, tax or construction
or building profit are allowed not to be included in cost estimation
depending on the nature of the subject property.


Article 63
An unfinished building should be appraised on the actual completed
parts, or based on the construction or building cost standard table
of a standard building together with reference to the cost ratio
table of building construction progress.
The National Association should announce cost ratio table of
building construction progress stated in the preceding paragraph.


Article 64
For investment on land or buildings whose cost is not commensurate
with the normal revenue, the cost is allowed not to be included in
total cost or be deducted by depreciation, which should be detailed
in the appraisal report.


Article 65
Depreciation of a building should be estimated based on its economic
life, but is allowed to be estimated based on its physical life if
necessary.
Economic life refers to the duration of years for a new building
to become unworthy to use due to the deterioration of function or
utility of the building.
Physical life refers to the duration of years for a new building
to become unusable due to the fragile structure caused by natural
wear or damage of external force.
In case the age of a building has exceeded its economic life, the
economic life should be adjusted.


Article 66
The table of economic life of building should be announced by the
National Association in respect of different kinds of building
structure and different regions, based on economic function and
utility of buildings.


Article 67
The ratio of salvage value of a building should be announced by
the National Association, and this ratio shall in principle not
exceed 10%.
If there is no salvage value on a building at the end of its
life; the salvage value will not be taken into account while
estimating depreciation.
The ratio of salvage value stated in paragraph 1 refers to the
ratio of the sales value of the residual structure and internal
equipments of a building in the market to the total building cost,
on the date when the economic life of this building expires.
When determining the salvage value of a building based on the
ratio of salvage value stated in paragraph 1, the clearance costs
involved when the building has reached the end of its life shall
be taken into consideration.


Article 68
The calculation of accrued depreciation for a building shall take
account of features of the building and market conditions, so as
to determine the appropriate method of depreciation among the
straight-line depreciation, convex-type depreciation or concave-type
depreciation.
As for estimation of accrued property depreciation amount, in
addition to consideration of physical and functional factors,
component parts of individual buildings and their uses shall be
considered from the economic perspective, and the maintenance and
renovation of buildings be observed, to estimate the remaining
economic life of the building. The above remaining economic life
is then added to the passed years to arrive at the economic life of
the building, and the calculation should be detailed in the
appraisal report.


Article 69
The calculation formula of cost value is as follows:
1. Land value = land total cost.
2. Building cost value = building total cost - building accrued
   depreciation.
3. Built-up property total cost = Land value + building cost value
The land value stated in the previous paragraph may be estimated by
sales comparison approach or income approach if land value is
difficult to ascertain, and the details should be specified in the
appraisal report. When sales comparison approach or income approach
is employed to estimate the land value, the rationality of
advertisement fee, sales fee, management fee, tax, capital interest
and profits associated with land needs to be considered.
When the formula in paragraph 1 is applied to estimate land value,
the value diminution of capital invested on land may be taken into
account and deducted from land total cost.


Article 70
The method of land development analysis is estimate the land
development analysis value prior to development or construction,
by deducting the direct cost, indirect cost, capital interest and
profit during the development period, from total sales price of
properties after completion of development or construction. This
analysis acknowledges the changes in utility of land through
development or improvement in accordance with legal use and density
of the land.

3. On-site survey and investigating and analyzing the degree of
   development in the local environment.
4. Estimating the marketable area of land or building after
   construction or building.
5. Estimating the total sales price of properties after completion
   of completion of construction or building.
6. Estimating individual cost and related expenses.
7. Deciding an appropriate rate of return and an overall capital
   interest rate.
8. Calculating land development analysis value.

   subject property and the environmental conditions, and taking
   necessary photos or making electronic films.
3. Gathering and investigating transaction data in the market.
4. Development degree of land and buildings and public facilities
   in the surrounding environment.


Article 74
The marketable areas of land or building after completion of
construction or building should be estimated according to the
following principles:
1. The areas estimated based upon the building permit, architecture
   design drawing or in documents of land development permission and
   map plan layout.
2. The areas estimated which take into account terrain, topography
   and local market circumstances and the highest and best use of the
   land in accordance with the relevant regulations in the case that
   building permit or permission of land development on the land has
   not been obtained.
The calculation process of the marketable areas stated in the
preceding paragraph should be illustrated for later examination.


Article 75
Total sales price after completion of construction or building should
be estimated by multiplying the marketable areas, of land or building
after completion of construction or building, by the anticipated unit
sales price.
In the case that the unit sales price for individual parts of the
marketable areas differs, areas of each part and its respective unit
price should be listed in detail.
The unit sales price stated in the previous paragraph should take
account of the price expected to be realized as of the date of value
opinion, and be derived by sales comparison approach or income approach.


Article 76
The items of the direct cost and indirect cost of building and
development on land are as follows:
1. Direct costs: Building or construction cost.
2. Indirect costs consist of:
(1) Planning and design fee.
(2) Advertisement and sales fee.
(3) Management fee.
(4) Tax and other burden.


Article 77
Advertisement fee, marketing fee, management fee and tax payment shall
be calculated as total sales price multiplied by respective tariffs.
The respective tariffs shall be regularly announced by the National
Association.


Article 78
Calculation of planning and design fee and the rate of return for the
method of land development analysis shall follow the of Articles 57
and 60.


Article 79
Estimation of capital annual interest in respect of the overall
capital interest rate for the method of land development analysis
shall be based upon the Articles 58 and 59, and makes reference to
the following formulae:
Overall capital interest rate = capital annual interest rate x
(land value ratio + building value ratio x 1/2 ) x development years.
For those subject properties that bear unusual capital interest, or
whose construction of buildings does not start immediately after
acquisition of land, their overall capital interest rate can be
further adjusted on the part of 1/2 specified in the above paragraph,
and be detailed in the appraisal report.
Building value for the building value ratio in paragraph 1 can be
estimated based upon the sum of construction costs and planning and
design fee.


Article 80
The duration of construction refers to the period of time between
the dates of value opinion through the completion of construction
without interruption.


Article 81
The calculation formula for the method of land development analysis
value is as follows:
V = S ÷(1 + R) ÷(1 + i) - (C + M)
where
V: land development analysis value.
S: the expected total sales price after completion of construction
   or building.
R: the appropriate rate of return.
C: the direct cost for construction or building.
M: the indirect cost for construction or building.
i: the overall capital interest rate for the total costs of
   construction or building.


Article 82

advance to the central competent authority for reference.


Chapter IV Land appraisal


Article 83
Land appraisal in anticipation of later land assembly or partition
should take account of the possible value changes before and after
assembly or partition, and adjustments to land value are made
accordingly.


Article 84
For an appraisal of several contiguous parcels of land to be
assembled to be one for land use purpose, the appraised value
should be based on the assembled land parcel and values apportioned
to respective land parcels are in proportion to their relative
share of land value prior to assembly.
For several contiguous parcels of land that are under the same
ownership but whose land use purpose is not to assemble them into
one, appraisal for those land parcels follows regulations stated
in the previous paragraph.


Article 85
While several different legal uses are found on a parcel of land,
the value of this land parcel could be derived as the sum of values
for individual portions with different legal uses or appraised based
on the primary use, after taking consideration of the highest and
best use, the relationship among those different legal uses, and the
difficulty for partitioning this land parcel.


Article 86
The influence on land value caused by the building upon the land
should be considered when this parcel of land is appraised. This
rule does not apply when the appraised subject is assumed to be
vacant land and the assumption is stated in the appraisal report.


Article 87
The method of land development analysis may be applied in appraising
the value of land assumed to be soon developed. The value thus
derived should be compared with the sales comparison value or income
value to decide the final appraised value.


Article 88
For a parcel of land whose use is restricted due to facilities
passing through above or below, the normal market value without
the restriction should be estimated at first, followed by
consideration of the effects of the restriction. The expected
diminution of land value associated with the land use restriction
will be deducted from the normal market value to arrive at the
value of land appraised.


Article 89
As for land whose soil or underground water is contaminated, the
normal value for the land without such contamination shall be first
appraised. Based on the test results supplied by clients in respect
of soil and underground water contamination and their possible
impacts, the diminution in land value is therefore estimated, and
this value diminution is subtracted from the normal value to arrive
at the value for this contaminated land.


Article 90

income approach, or cost approach depending on the growth of the
wood. When the cost approach is applied, forestation cost, land
improvement cost, and road excavation cost should be considered
in calculation of total costs.


Article 93
The appraisal of farms or postures should in principle apply sales
comparison approach. In the case that there is no previous sales
data, the value could be estimated based on the value of land
parcels in the neighborhood, and by comparison of the location,
shape, topography, soil characteristic, and land use between the
neighborhoods land parcels and the subject farm or pasture to
arrive at the final appraised value.


Article 94
The appraisal of saltpan should in principle apply sales comparison
approach. In the case that there is no previous sales data, the
value could be estimated based on the value of land parcels in
the neighborhood, and by comparison of the sunshine, ventilation,
location, and shape between the neighborhoods land parcels and the
subject saltpan to arrive at the final appraised value.


Article 95
The appraisal of pond, swamp or graveyard should in principle apply
sales comparison approach. In the case that there is no previous
sales data, the value could be estimated based on the value of
land parcels in the neighborhood, and by comparison of the location,
shape, and land use between the neighborhoods land parcels and the
subject pond to arrive at the final appraised value.


Article 96 (Deleted)


Article 97
The appraisal of land for construction of pubic facility or land
reserved for construction of public facility should in principle
apply sales comparison approach. In the case that there is no
previous sales data, the value could be estimated by comparison

and the subject property, and taking into account the possible
value diminution, together with the average value of the
neighboring land parcels.


Chapter V Built-up property valuation


Article 98
The appraisal of a condominium unit jointly take account of
exclusively owned areas, co-owned areas and the share of rights
on the site, and appropriate adjustments are to be made between
the comparable properties and the subject condominium unit by
reference to the different utility ratio among different floors
and the location differences within a floor.
The utility ratio for individual floor stated in the preceding
paragraph is to be announced by the National Association by
areas through collection of relevant cases. The above
information is for the reference of adjustment to be made
stated in the preceding paragraph, and the ratio is estimated
also by reference to the market conditions and local custom.


Article 99
When the value of a built-up subject property is used as a
basis to estimate its value of land portion, the following
rules can be employed:
1.Land value of the built-up subject property = value of the
  built-up subject property – building cost of the built-up
  subject property..
2.Unit land value of the built-up subject property = land
  value of the built-up subject property / land size of the
  built-up subject property
In the case that the land value ratio and building value ratio
are known, the following rules also apply to estimate the unit
land value based upon the value of the built-up subject property:
1.Land value of the built-up subject property = value of the
  built-up subject property x land value ratio
2.Unit land value of the built-up subject property = land value
  of the built-up subject property / land size of the built-up
  subject property
The land value ratio and building value ratio in the preceding
paragraph shall be estimated through appraisal methods and with
reference to data surveyed in the local market.


Article 100
When the subject property stated in the preceding Article is a
condominium unit, the following rules can apply to estimate the
unit value of the site where the condominium stands based upon the
value of this subject property:

   unit = the value of a condominium unit - the building cost
   value of the condominium unit
2. The unit value of a share of rights on the site for a condominium
   unit = the value of a share of rights on the site for a
   condominium unit / the site area owned by the condominium unit
3. The unit value of a site for a condominium = the unit value of
   rights to use a condominium site x average vertical allotment
   ratio of land value / vertical allotment ratio of land value for
   the condominium unit
The vertical allotment ratio of land value stated in the
subparagraph 3 of the preceding paragraph is calculated as follows:
Vertical allotment ratio of land value for a condominium unit = the
floor utility ratio for the condominium unit - the average floor
utility ratio x the ratio of the cost value of the whole building
to the whole built-up property value.


Article 101
In the case that the land value ratio and building value ratio for
the subject property is known, the following rules also apply to
estimate the unit site value for the condominium based on the value

1. The value of a share of rights on the site for a condominium
   unit = the value of a condominium unit x land value ratio
2. The unit value of a share of rights on the site for a
   condominium unit = the value of a share of rights on the site
   for a condominium unit / the site area owned by the condominium
   unit
3. The unit land value for the site upon which a condominium unit
   stands = the unit value of a share of rights on the site for a
   condominium unit x averaged floor utility ratio / the floor
   utility ratio for this condominium
The land value ratio and building value ratio in the preceding
paragraph shall be estimated through appraisal methods and with
reference to data surveyed in the local market.


Article 101-1
In the case that both the land value ratio and building value ratio
for the subject property are known, the product of value of the
built-up subject property and building value ratio can be regarded
as the estimated building value.


Article 102
When appraising a property whose existing floor capacity ratio is
over the legal one, this appraisal shall be based upon the current
conditions of the legitimate part of the subject property, and
impacts of the law-permissible floor capacity on appraisal need
to be detailed in the appraisal report.


Article 103
For appraisal of a property where part of which is illegal, the
illegal part will not be appraised. The above restriction does not
apply when the clients require the appraisal and the respective
values of legal and illegal parts of the subject property are
stated in the appraisal report.


Article 104
For appraisal of a property that is at present not in its highest
and best use, the normal value based on its highest and best use
shall be first estimated, followed by adjustments to reflect the
current low use condition.


Article 105
For a legal property whose originally permitted use is in conflict
with the present land use control, the appraisal shall be based
upon the uses that are allowable by the current zoning
regulations, and the value difference between the current use and
the law-permissible uses be specified in an appraisal report.


Article 106
A built-up property could be regarded as a vacant land if the
building upon it becomes worthless. However, the demolition cost
of the building should be considered to make necessary value
adjustments.

production period, age of trees, growth condition, fruiting
pattern, management, agricultural facility, and etc.


Article 111
Crops valuation methods are as follows:
1. For crops that are young and still far away from its harvest
   time, the value of crops should be estimated based on
   planting and nurturing expenses, together with growing
   condition of crops.
2. For crops that are close to their harvest, the value of crops
   should be estimated based on expected yield and market price,
   and the expenses needed between the date of value opinion
   and the harvest could be deducted if necessary.
3. For crops whose harvest time is over a year away, and the
   harvest value can be expected, the value of crops should be
   estimated based on the price in the local area. The future
   price in harvest is estimated and discounted to the date of
   value opinion. However, the expenses needed between the date
   of value opinion and the harvest should be deducted.


Article 112
The cost approach should in principle be applied for works and
improvement to irrigation and soil attached to land. However,
the indicated values of sales comparison approach and income
approach could also be considered to arrive at the final appraised
value.

For a building where the soil or underground water underneath is
contaminated, the normal value for this building without such
contamination shall be first appraised. Based on the test results
supplied by clients in respect of soil and underground water
contamination and their possible impacts, the diminution in land
value is therefore estimated, and this value diminution is
subtracted from the normal value to arrive at the value for
this contaminated building.


Chapter VII Valuation of Interests


Article 114
The valuation of interests consists of valuation of superficies,
dien, yungtien, easement, agricultural right, servitude of real
property, cultivation, mortgage, lease, urban land readjustment,
transferable development right and exchange of right.

servitudes, social conventions and etc.


Article 120
The valuation of cultivation right should consider factors such
as cultivation period, registered right, relevant regulations and
etc.


Article 121

relevant regulations and etc.


Article 124
For the valuation of rights exchange in an urban renewal scheme, the
items examined shall be based upon Urban Renewal Act and Regulation
on Implementation of Rights Exchange for Urban Renewal and other
relevant legislations.


Article 125
For the subject property that is a condominium unit prior to rights
exchange scheme, the respective value of each unit for its share of
rights on the site shall be estimated by means of the site value ratio
of the whole property following the rules as below:
The value for share of rights on site of individual condominium
unit = the value of individual condominium x site value ratio
Formula for calculating site value ratio stated in the preceding
paragraph is as follows:
Site value ratio = unit value of land as if vacant x site size / unit
value of land as if vacant x site size +【unit construction cost
 x (1-accrued depreciation rate) x size of the whole building】
Should the estimated value for share of rights on site based on the
rule of the above paragraph be apparently unfair due to unusual
conditions of the subject condominium, its value can be further
adjusted in reference to the value estimated based on Article 126-2.


Article 126
In the case that prior to rights exchange scheme the present value
of the site where condominium units stand is lower than the value
of the site as if vacant, the values of share of rights on sites
associated with respective condominium units are calculated as follows:
1. Following the rules set up in the preceding Article to derive site
   value ratio.
2. Value for the share of right on site associated with respective
   condominium units = respective values of condominium units x site
   value ratio.
3. Ratio of value for the share of right on site associated with
   respective condominium units = value for the share of right on
   site associated with respective condominium units / Σ value for
   the share of right on site associated with respective
   condominium units.
4. Adjusted value for the share of right on site associated with
   respective condominium units = value of site as if vacant where
   condominiums stand x ratio of value for the share of right on site
   associated with respective condominium units.


Article 126-1
For buildings other than condominium units prior to rights exchange
scheme, the value for the right of site shall be estimated as the
figure of total property value multiplied by site value ratio. In
the case that the value for the right of site is lower than the
value of site as if vacant, the value of site as if vacant will
prevail.


Article 126-2
In the case that condominium units are in place prior to rights
exchange scheme but some owners of the site do not possess ownership
of the building, the respective value for the share of rights on
land for those owners are estimated based on the rules below:
1. If their respective share of rights on land is able to correspond
   to a specific part of the building, their respective value for
   the share of rights on land shall be the residual of the value
   for share of rights on building subtracted from the value for
   share of rights on the site estimated based on Article 125 or
   Article 126.
2. If their respective share of rights on land is unable to
   correspond to a specific part of the building, the following
   rules apply:
2-1 The price per unit of the site is estimated based on Article
    125 or Article 126.
2-2 The above price per unit of the site times the size of site
    to which the part of building that is not possessed corresponds
    to.
2-3 Estimate the value of rights for the whole building.
2-4 Estimated value of rights for the whole building times the
    percentage of size of site to which the part of building that is
    not possessed corresponds to.
2-5 The figure derived from 2-4 is subtracted from the figure
    derived from 2-2.
If an agreement is reached between the holders of the share of rights
to the site who do not possess rights to the building, and the owner
