What policy reform is needed?
What are the benefits of the reform?
• Real property as major resource and potentially biggest source of own-revenues of local governments
• According to World Bank:
50% to 75% of the national wealth contained in real properties
LGAF: Philippines was rated “B” on property valuation and taxation,which means that the country’s performance on the said thematic arearepresent the second best set of options that make progress towardsgood local land governance.
Background
50% to 75% of the national wealth contained in real properties
LGAF: Philippines was rated “B” on property valuation and taxation,which means that the country’s performance on the said thematic arearepresent the second best set of options that make progress towardsgood local land governance.
Multiple, overlapping valuations
Outdated valuations used for governmental purposes, especially for nationaland local taxation; LGUs comingle valuation with taxation. Only 37% LGUs and60% RDOs have updated values.
Costs incurred, revenues foregone: overvaluation when government pays,undervaluation when government collects
No single agency responsible for ensuring that valuations are completed inaccordance with international standards
Absence of a comprehensive real property electronic database

• wide disparities between the schedule of zonalvalues (SZV), schedule of market values (SMV),& private appraisers’ values
• varying values for the same piece of property• lack of confidence in the land valuation system
• SMV < SZV by 13% - 94%• SZV < Private Valuation by 5% - 930%• SMV < Private Valuation by 187% -
7,474%
*Based on a 2004 Comparative Study of Land Values in Selected 19 Cities & Municipalities. Huge variance have been noted in urban areas.

LGUsOnly 37% of LGUs have updated SMVsThere are 98 non-compliant cities* and 46 provinces as of March 2019.
How outdated are government valuations?
B I R 60% of RDOs with updated Zonal Valueswithin the last 3 years. 72 out of 120 RDOs are updated.

• In the absence of a uniform and updated set of SMVs,implementing agencies of infrastructure projects, such as DOTRand DPWH, have no reliable benchmark to base their budget andinitial offer price on.
• Based on a study commissioned by the BLGF, there is a 73%probability that the disparity between the initial offer price andthe revalued price will cause a valuation-related delay in theROW acquisition.
• On the other hand, the residual probability of having valuation-related delays if the initial offer price matches the revalued priceis just 4.43%.

• No sanction for non-compliance in the regularupdating of SMVs and zonal values
• LGUs fail to update and revise the SMV as basis forreal property taxation despite statutoryrequirement: unpopular, political backlash, technicalcapacity, cost-issues, etc.
Why are values for government purposes outdated?

Adopt international standards, rationalize the process
Establish single valuation base for taxation, benchmark for otherpurposes
Insulate valuation from undue politicization; LGUs shall continue toregulate tax rates and assessment levels.
Support LGUs in fulfilling their functions while improving the oversightfunction of the NG;
Establish comprehensive database to support valuation function

Common Misconceptions
The increase in real property tax is strictlyvalue driven
The increase in the SMV automaticallyleads to a proportionate increase in theRPT
