What is the acceptable percentage of line items that should be changed when using a compliance plan?

In the context of a compliance plan for property assessments, the acceptable percentage of line items that should be changed is less than 50%. This standard is established to ensure that adjustments made during the assessment process remain manageable and reasonable, allowing for effective oversight and review.

A compliance plan aims to rectify discrepancies and ensure that assessments align with established guidelines and methodologies. By capping the percentage of changes to less than 50%, it prevents drastic alterations that could lead to confusion or inaccuracies in the property assessment data. This threshold supports the goal of maintaining integrity in the assessment process while addressing any necessary corrections.

Higher thresholds, such as 75% or 100%, would imply frequent or extensive alterations, which could undermine the reliability of the assessment roll and create inconsistencies. Similarly, a lower threshold, such as 25%, may not provide sufficient leeway to rectify meaningful errors or adjust assessments according to current market conditions. Therefore, targeting changes at less than 50% strikes a balance between necessary adjustments and maintaining the integrity of the assessment system.
