May 24, 2012 Noon to 1:00 p.m. Pennsylania Bar Institute, Webinar, Co-Presenting with Anthony C. Barna, MAI, PA Supreme Court Decision in Tech One: What Does it Mean for Valuation of Leased Real Estate?
Summary: On April 25, 2012. the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a long awaited decision in Tech One Associates v. Board of Property Assessments of Allegheny County, et al. This case changes the way leased property is valued for tax assessment purposes. This decision means, in practical terms, that Pennsylvania will no longer value a property artificially low or artificially high due to some special financing arrangement. By valuing both the landlord’s and tenant’s positions, the state now values the whole of the real estate rights – which means uniform tax treatment.
