{"product_id":"2940013605312","title":"Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions","description":"The Interagency Land Acquisition Conference, established on November 27, 1968, by invitation of the Attorney General, is a voluntary organization composed of representatives from the many federal agencies engaged in the acquisition of real estate for public uses. The Conference adopted and continues to adhere to several goals with respect to land acquisition, including the promulgation of uniform appraisal standards and guidelines for appraisal reports. The broad experience of the member representatives of the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference assures that the federal appraisal standards developed for land acquisitions are uniform, fair, and efficient. The Interagency Land Acquisition Conference is chaired by the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. Its activities are conducted by ad hoc committees composed of member representatives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Standards have been prepared for use by appraisers to promote uniformity in the appraisal of real property among the various agencies acquiring property on behalf of the United States. It should make no difference to the landowner, whose property is being acquired, which agency is acquiring the land, or what method of acquisition it uses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe appraisal of property for purposes of direct voluntary purchase, exchange, or eminent domain by the United States presents unique problems not ordinarily encountered in appraisals for sale, tax, mortgage, rate-making, insurance, and other purposes. This results naturally from the fact that the method of appraisal, the elements and factors to be considered and the weight given them, and the standards of valuation are determined to a great extent by law. Therefore, the judgment or opinion of the individual appraiser should be governed by proper legal standards, whether land is being acquired by voluntary purchase, exchange, or condemnation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Standards have been prepared in recognition of the fact that the vast majority of federal land acquisitions are accomplished by voluntary means. However, the utmost objectivity, accuracy, and thoroughness of appraisals, upon which those acquisitions are based, is essential regardless of the government’s method of acquisition. The federal appraisal standards are the same for voluntary acquisitions as they are for acquisitions by condemnation. Therefore, the purpose of these Standards is to set forth the general principles applicable to the appraisal of property for federal land acquisitions by both voluntary means and condemnation.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169595900144,"sku":"2940013605312","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013605312_p0.jpg?v=1763582921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013605312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
