Billboard Valuation Methods

 

Just compensation is measured by determining “fair market value” based on the economic value of the property interest that is being sold or taken.

The economic value of a billboard display, once constructed and in place, is largely a function of the location. Market Value Comparison approach using Media Potential GIM gives the sign location heavy consideration.

Market Value Comparison approach to valuing outdoor advertising, using the Gross Income Multiplier method is an accepted valuation method in the outdoor advertising industry.

 

As the standard used in the industry for valuing signs, the GIM reflects fair market value.  The GIM method is appropriate where the evidence establishes that the sign involved in a taking cannot be relocated on the leased premises or to a like-kind property in the same market area.

 

Certain billboard locations can also be considered “unique” and may justify additional value. For example, if a certain billboard is: located in the heart of a busy metropolitan area; highly visible to a popular tourist destination; ruled a grand-fathered location due to an off-premise sign moratorium or classified as legal non-conforming.
