| Base-lot method - A method of appraising land parcels whereby each parcel to be appraised is compared with a parcel of known value, called the base lot, and differences between the two in terms of location, size, shape, topography, and the like are analyzed by the appraiser in estimating the value of the lot to be appraised. |

| Bias - A statistic is said to be biased if the expected value of that statistic is not equal to the population parameter being estimated. A process is said to be biased if it produces results that vary systematically with some factor that should be irrelevant. In assessment administration, assessment progressivity (regressivity ) is one kind of possible bias. |

| Building residual technique - A technique used to estimate the value of a property from a knowledge of its net operating income , discount rate, remaining economic life , land value, the income path attributable to the building, and the income path attributable to the land. The technique estimates total value by discounting the income stream attributable to the building and adding the result to an independent estimate of the value of the land. |
