Assessment Commission

The Assessment Commission has three chambers:
1. Expropriation law chamber
2. Land valuation chamber
3. Agricultural chamber

In case of a dispute, the expropriation law chamber, as the specialized administrative court of first instance, determines the compensation for formal and material expropriations. The land valuation chamber conducts official valuations of non-agricultural properties. It is the competent cantonal authority for determining the accepted value as defined in article 618 paragraph 1 of the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB). Determining official estimates of the capitalized earnings value of agricultural properties is the responsibility of the agricultural chamber (article 87 paragraph 1 of the Federal Act on Agricultural Land Rights (BGBB).

The Assessment Commission is also responsible for determining VAT amounts and assessing the value-added tax for zoning, rezoning or upzoning (§section 52a1 paragraph 1 of the Public Transport Act (PBG).

The Cantonal Council elects an Assessment Commission for the term of its office, composed of the President, the Vice-President and eight members who have relevant expertise.
