improvements are used for mutual economic benefit. An economic unit may be comprised of properties
which are neither contiguous nor owned by the same owner. However, they must be managed and
operated on a unitary basis and each parcel must make a functional contribution to the operation of
the unit. “Functional Contribution” is a positive economic benefit created by the use of an individual
parcel in an economic unit.
2. Owned by the same owner, have the same use, have the same appeal basis, and are located in the
same geographic area. Criteria for determination of “Same Use” includes, but is not limited to, property
class, property use code, unit value, and zoning. “Geographic Area” means an area for which common
property valuation characteristics may reasonably be identified, such as a subdivision, neighborhood,
market area, or an Assessor’s book and map.
• It is strongly recommended that only parcels with common ownership, physical characteristics and
location be included on a Multiple Parcel Appeal form (DOR 82131). Failure to file multiple parcels under the
above conditions could result in a decision based on incomplete information or a possible denial of the
appeal. In Items 8 and 9 of the petition form, enter the total full cash and limited values for all parcels
included in the appeal.
