Commercial Appraisal Review Template (Not Form)

[Terrel L. Shields]

Is this assessors office so small that you guys don't have access to a real estate attorney

I've never been to a county where the county attorney does not represent the assessor's office.
Our state does not require assessors to comply with USPAP, but they can if they want credit towards a CG or CR license. But assessor appraisers have a separate certificate as appraisers and do not have to comply with state regulations of fee appraisers.

Curious of the nature of the claim

that the appraiser used incorrect methodology in determining value.

What approach(s) are you suggesting that they did or did not consider and how was that consideration flawed?

This is my last post on this -- promise!

As a template for a commercial appraisal review, you might want to also start with the IAAO's grading sheet for their CAE demonstration reports. The link is here, and the grading sheet/outline is at the end of the document: https://www.iaao.org/wp-content/uploads/Demo_Report_Guide-Commercial.pdf

AND, take a look at the IAAO's "Standard on Assessment Appeals", especially Section 3.1 "Informal Review by the Assessor" and Section 7 "The Hearing": https://www.iaao.org/wp-content/uploads/Assessment_Appeal_2016.pdf
