ABSTRACT
Property rating in Nigeria is a major contribution of knowledge in the area of rating administration in Nigeria has not been accorded the priority it deserves as an important item of re venue for local government authorities which rely mainly on funds from the federation account.
In developed countries of the world, local government authorities depend to a large extent on the revenue from property rating to finance their programmers.
Because most local governments are cash strapped and indigent. They find it almost impossible to function efficiently most of them have no deeply entrenched viable revenue base.
This thesis proffers solution to the problems in order to solve the perennial shortage of skilled manpower in rating administration.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Property Rating is also called local taxation; it can be described as levies imposed by local governments on owners or occupiers or users of landed property. In Nigeria the owners of landed property are taxed while in the United Kingdom the occupiers are taxed.
The purpose of rating valuation is to arrive at a figure termed ratable value on which rates are levied upon the rate payer at so much in the naira in order to defray the expenses of the local government.
In Nigeria proceeds from property rates are expected to be used for specific projects like water supply, refuse disposal, street lighting community halls, roads and markets and maintenance of infrastructural facilities at local levels.
This thesis aims at reviewing rating administration in Nnobi, in Idemili South local government area in Anambra State.
