It is now possible under accounting rules to revalue land upward on a corporation Balance Sheet using International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS). My HOA has 70 acres of valuable waterfront property that has been recorded as worth $100 for the last 50 years. I now wish to revalue it to its true value of many million dollars. If the HOA Balance Sheet reflects Fair Market Value for the land then the members who own the HOA and its land should benefit. Their HOA membership is appurtenant to their homes tax parcel and will become worth $20,000 or more. It appears to me, appraisers in the past gave the park property and the owners membership no value. How will the appraisers know to include the HOA membership in their appraisal of parcels that are for sale? Should the appraiser be informed by the homeowner? The HOA? Do they need HOA financial statements or an appraisal of the park property to determine the membership value?
