Land and building/structure owner checking and registration: Check the official General Land Registry and copy in order of land number, the name, address, and land area of the owners of respective lands within the benefited area. Where the above-ground building/structure is not owned by the land owner, the name, address, and land area of the owner of said building/structure shall also be copied.

Measurements derived from the benefited area drawing (or through site survey) shall be provided for land parcels extending across different benefited zones or outside the benefited area, and the area of respective land parcels shall be recorded in the appropriate columns under respective land records.
Community development fee unit charge calculation: Except roads under urban planning, the community development fee amount shall be determined for taxable and exempted areas within the benefited area with the unit charge calculated according to the following:
(1) Multiply total project cost by the charging rate to derive the total community development fee.
(2) Multiply the total community development fee by the percentage set forth in Article 19 or Article 20 to derive the community development fees for the benefited line or the benefited surface.
(3) Divide the share of the community development fee of the benefited line by its total length to derive the unit charge of the benefited line.
(4) Divide the share of the community development fee of respective zones within the benefited surface by their area to derive the unit charge of the respective land zone.
(5) For public lands appropriated for use, the provisions under Paragraph 2, Article 3 of the Statute shall govern.
Community development fee calculation: Multiply the length of the benefited line or the area of respective zones within the benefited surface of the benefited land owners by the unit charge of the benefited line or respective benefited zones within the benefited area to derive the community development fee to be borne by the benefited line and by the various zones within the benefited area. The total amount for the benefited line and the amount borne by respective benefited zones as well as their respective taxable amount shall be recorded. For fee exemption or reduction due to overlapping benefit as stipulated under Article 12 of the Statute, the fee to be borne by respective zones and lines shall be recorded, with the amount after exemption/reduction provided under column “total” and the exempted/reduced amount under column “notes”.
Double charging deduction: For fee deduction for the same benefited surface of different projects, the calculation shall be based upon the unit charges borne by a particular land parcel imposed by different projects at different times. The same shall apply to different projects sharing the same benefited line. Said fee deduction shall not be limited by transfer of land ownership. In the event that the double charging occurs when one project has a benefited line and the other does not, the benefited line shall be excluded from fee deduction.
Statistics compilation: Benefited zones and lines shall have respective statistical data for taxable amount and case number, as well as deductible amount and case number.
