      The Special Properties Branch was established in 1980 within the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, it contained four sections: Commercial and Exempt Valuation Unit; Farms, Residential and Multi-residential Valuation Unit; Industrial and Exempt Valuation Unit; and Cost Manuals Development Unit.

      The Special Properties Branch ceased to exist in 1993, when the Ministry of Revenue was folded into a new Ministry of Finance. Within the new Ministry, the Appraisal Services Branch assumed the functions of the former Special Properties Branch.
