PREAMBLE: Ports, Airports and Railyards present unique valuation challenges for assessors and fee appraisers alike. These major transportation hubs provide a vital public service and are important economic drivers for the regions they are located in. They often have some level of government regulation and control to ensure uninterrupted and safe passage for both people and goods. Grant agreements between airport authorities and municipalities based partly on typical passenger loads - port authority container ship activity and the port’s ability to accommodate the much larger New Panamax ships introduced recently into service, provide a glimpse of the complexity associated with valuing these properties. This webinar will explore the analysis techniques, market considerations, regulatory directives and the economic climate (both micro and macro) affecting the value of the properties. The focus will be on the practical application of these inputs to determine a final value.
