Appraisal/Review - There is no single operation within a right of way acquisition program that is more important to its success than the appraisal/appraisal review of needed tracts of real property.
Appraisal Reports - For any tract requiring an appraisal, it is necessary that the approved offer is based on a well documented, factual, and complete report prepared by a qualified and competent real property appraiser. It is equally important that the appraisal report, once submitted, be subjected to a review by a qualified and competent review appraiser that is objective, fair, and complete.
Value Finding - A Value Finding Appraisal is to cover tracts on which there is no damage to the remainder or minimum damage which can be measured by cost to cure. Additionally, the value of the taking must not exceed $35,000.00. As support for land values, reference may be made to applicable comparable sales in the files or appraised values on other specific tracts on the same project.
Agreement for Real Property - This is an agreement form (contract for services) used by the Alabama Department of Transportation in obtaining the services (statewide) of real property fee appraisers.
