'rq~ _.1\ <br /> <br />question: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />If your property is well suited for subdivision and the ease- <br />f'Ient prohibits or restricts subdivision, your easer.tent pay- <br />ment would be substantial. On the other hand, if your property <br />is suited only for its current use and the easement allows <br />continuance of current use, your easement payment would be <br />minimal. <br /> <br />Easement value would depend on property rirrhts purchasecl fron <br />you and the narket value of these rights. Payments ,'muld be <br />"one time - lump SWd" based on the Mllrket value at the tiMe <br />the easer.tent is negotiated. <br /> <br />l"Iho would estimate the value of the easeMent ~lhich l~ould be ir.tposed <br />on r.ly property? <br /> <br />Ansl.,er: <br /> <br />question: <br /> <br />The Forest Service would either use their staff of real <br />estate appraisers or issue a contract to an independent fee <br />appraiser to appraise the value of the easement beinll imposed <br />on your property. Your property would actually be appraised <br />twice. The appraiser would first estimate the value of your <br />property in its present or "before" condition, without an <br />easer.tent. He would then appraise your property under the <br />assurption that all the conditions and restrictions of the <br />easements have been imposed on your property. Tlle difference <br />between the two appraisals would be the value loss and would be <br />the market value of the "property rights" the novernment would <br />be acquirinn in the easer,lents. You, the landowner, would be <br />paid the value of the easenent on the property rights you <br />convey. <br /> <br />Appraisers would conduct a thorough ex~ination of your property <br />and conduct an intensive study of real estate r.tarket conditions <br />in your area. The appraiser would inspect your property only <br />with your permission and he would ask you to accompany hiu <br />on the inspection. They would document their findings in a <br />written appraisal. Their appraisals would be reviewed by a <br />trained review appTaiseT. If the appraisers' estimates <br />appear sound and well supported by market data in the appraisal, <br />the appraised values would be approved. The landowner would <br />then be offered full appraised value for the easement. <br /> <br />11hat if the landolmer \~ere dissatisfied with the price offered for an <br />easement on his land? <br /> <br />Answer: <br /> <br />If this sllOuld occur, the OI1T1er T,Jight want to obtain his own <br />appraisal from a professional real estate appraiser. k1Y <br />new information should be discussed with the Forest Service <br /> <br />12 <br />
