Rental properties are purchased with investment as the intent, so the State requires the Gross Rent Multiplier to be used. The Gross Rent Multiplier creates a direct relationship between the gross rent generated by a rental property and the sale price, or market value, allowing for assessments based on the investment potential.
Sale Price / Rent = Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)
Rent * GRM = Assessed Value

Do you own a rental property that was previously receiving the Homestead Deduction? If so, you must notify the Auditor's Office.
