Description of Activity
How to Classify Properties
- There are two types of property classifications:
- Single Family House (I.e residential detached, semi-detached properties)
- Other House (i.e mixed use properties, multi-residential properties).
- For this task, you need to find information about inspected SFH properties in order to make notes of the reasons to change or to keep their classifications.
Rationale
Stormwater charge
- Stormwater Charge project is the charge on falling rain or snow on the impervious areas of all property.
- Classifying properties is a very important task for the Stormwater Charge project because SFH and OTH Properties get charged differently.
- SFH properties get charged on the total impervious areas of their roof tops.
- OTH properties get charged on all of their impervious areas.
