CABARRUS COUNTY 2012 APPRAISAL MANUAL MARKET /DESIGN FACTOR The Market /Design Factor may be used in two ways: 1) We primarily use it as a market factor in fairly homogenous neighborhoods to work as a supplement to the quality adjustment when the market indicates that more of less value is needed to bring the subject neighborhood to market value. 2) As a design factor in less homogenous neighborhoods, such as rural areas, to describe design qualities that seem to enhance the value of a particular property such as the number of turns in the roof and perimeter of the buildings. The appraiser will determine through analysis of the market which method will be used for each neighborhood. EXTREMELY IRREGULAR - Describes the most irregular buildings. These buildings have many turns in the roof and perimeter wall. Many of these turns are at angles that are not 90 degree angles. IRREGULAR - Buildings which have an irregular appearance (many contemporary homes). These have 4 or more major breaks or turns in the roof line or perimeter wall.
