Appraisal Frequently Asked Questions

1

An appraisal is an opinion of market value on a specific date. Appraisers, certified by the state, use sales data and market trends to form unbiased valuations. 

Farmland values are influenced by many factors such as the overall economy, local market conditions, and property-specific characteristics. An appraisal can help determine a property’s most probable value for its intended use. 

2

An appraisal provides a value estimate as of a specific date. This date can be in the past, present, or future. As market conditions change over time, it’s important to ensure the appraisal’s effective date aligns with your specific needs. Be careful when relying on an opinion of value with an effective date that is different than what is needed. 

3

Any information you can provide that helps identify the property that is to be appraised is helpful. Some examples are: 

  • A copy of the deed, legal descriptions, or survey.
  • Assessor Parcel Numbers, or a copy of the current real estate tax bill. 
  • Any covenants, conditions, and restrictions the property may be subject to.
  • A breakdown of income and expenses for the last two years on income-generating land.
