Property Valuation

In Oklahoma, the principle of 'contribution' in real estate appraisal means:

AA property owner must contribute to neighborhood improvement funds
BThe value of a component of a property is measured by how much it contributes to the whole property's value, not necessarily its cost✓ Correct
CAppraisers must contribute their time to OREC
DLenders contribute to appraisal costs

Explanation

The principle of contribution states that the value of any property component (a garage, pool, or extra bedroom) is determined by how much value it adds to the whole property — not by how much it cost to install. A $50,000 pool may only add $20,000 in market value.
