The Real Property Tax Compliance and Impact Study (RPTCIS) is a practical and analytical module designed to guide Local Government Units (LGUs) and assessors in evaluating the effects of property valuation and tax policy adjustments.

This course walks participants through the full process of conducting a compliance and impact study—from understanding assessment revisions and tax policy levers to computing projected revenues and analyzing taxpayer burden. Learners will explore how changes in Schedule of Market Values (SMVs), assessment levels, and tax rates affect both individual taxpayers and overall LGU revenue performance.

The module also clarifies the distinction between technical valuation functions and political decision-making responsibilities, equipping participants to operate confidently within the evolving RPVAR framework.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to conduct systematic, data-driven RPT compliance and impact studies that support sound fiscal planning, equitable taxation, and sustainable local revenue generation.

This course offers a thorough guide to preparing the Schedule of Market Values (SMV) for real properties, focusing on the legal framework, procedures, and tools necessary for property appraisal and assessment under the Local Government Code (LGC).

Key topics include the three-year development cycle, which includes data gathering, value updates, tax compliance studies, the classification of lands, buildings, and machinery, as well as depreciation rates and how to create land value maps. The course also covers a matrix of parameters for accurate property assessment and includes workshops simulating the preparation of SMVs for urban, agricultural lands, and buildings, with techniques like the Building Residual Method.

Participants are guided through the process of completing the SMV forms, covering property classification, value calculations, and depreciation schedules. The course ensures that learners gain the necessary skills to effectively prepare and assess property values for taxation.
