    abstract = {The practice of rating real estate is essentially an internal revenue source, synonymous to tenement
tax levied on the owner/occupier. Property rating in Nigeria is bedeviled by many factors that impeded its
smooth implementation and operation, thus, this form of taxation yields zero revenue in Bauchi, due to failure
of implementation. This study is aimed at measuring the impact of non-implementation of property rating on
neighbourhood facilities and services in Bauchi metropolis of Nigeria. About 132 closed-ended questionnaires
were distributed to professionals in the field of real estate, in the academia and estate firms, 92 questionnaires
were mailed back for analysis. The Pearson’s correlation in SPSS was used to establish relationship between
the variables. Findings from this study reveals that PRP has a strong influence over community sanitation and
healthcare services, thus failure to institutionalize the practice could result to persistent deterioration of
aesthetic quality of the living environment with imminent repercussion on individual healthcare.}
