Appraiser Marked Private Septic And Well As Public

[Huds_Harm]

I have never done that, but I also say no survey was rendered or reviewed. If I did get a survey, I subject everything to the survey. I'm not a licensed surveyor and I don't dig wells or septic tanks up either. And you are on a waterway too? Are you in a flood zone or did you not check that either?

According to the appraiser to appraiser threads here you should.

I have not. Do you measure minimum distance requirements and verify source of water on your appraisals?

Nope. I use public records, (Tennessee has septic permits on file), MLS, but appraisal is based on easily observable conditions as far as MPR's. I check the box based on information on property condition disclosure report and make sure it matches county records but that is it. Most people don't know exactly where the septic tank is until there's a problem, so how the hell would I, a perfect stranger know where your septic tank or field lines are.

Guess what? I'm 30 years in and I'll not be doing that. Report me to the appraiser gods if you want.

Because it was readily exposed at the time of appraisal to at the least check the correct box but because she didn’t do that she obviously didn’t do all the other things mentioned above.

The septic tank was exposed? Why?

 

[Huds_Harm]

These things are not part of the appraiser's job. They are part of the septic inspector's job.

You should dig deep and determine why a septic inspection was not ordered. Someone dropped that ball big time.

Just a guess, it wasn’t ordered because the appraiser marked it public?

For the appraiser to inspect……….. aka make sure the property meets MPR.

Wow. you must not be able to read or you are just being a total whining pillow biter. You dropped the ball and know you are looking for some reason to sue anybody and everybody to pay for a supposed repair/replacement of YOUR septic system after you bought it. Now you own it and any problems. pathetic

What’s pathetic is someone not knowing what their license entails. I would recommend you read who and what is required because I can assure you I missed no REQUIREMENTS.

Did the "flipper" who sold you the house have a license? You said the septic tank could not be located for your home inspection but it was uncovered for the appraiser to test the septic system? I call BS, this has to be some "what if" scenario for a HUD class some E and O company is developing. And heck, if it was "exposed", just get a backhoe and move that sucker further from the well, make sure you don't move it into the "waterway". Maybe it's an idea for a new Farmer's Insurance commercial. Troll
