[I am just being argumentative this morning and really agree that subdivisions are not for the uninitiated]
So, if I read the certification correctly, a CR can value a $2M (115 acre) piece of land if it is handled as a single residential entity, but can not value a subdivision with a transaction value of $250,005 (5 lots)?
I have actually helped on a couple of subdivision appraisals and I would honestly not want to do one (the opportunity cost would eat me alive). And to be honest I did see a couple of reasons to involve a G-man, but these had more to do with the acceptance of the value by the users and deflecting pressure.
