Indiana Code Title 8. Utilities and Transportation § 8-23-7-2.5

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 2.5. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), real property to be acquired by the department for a purpose described in section 2 of this chapter shall be appraised before the initiation of negotiations.

(b) An appraisal is not required if:

(1) the owner is donating the property and releases the agency from its obligation to appraise the property;  or

(2) the agency determines that an appraisal is unnecessary because the valuation problem is uncomplicated and the anticipated value of the proposed acquisition is estimated at less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) based on a review of available data.

(c) When an appraisal is determined to be unnecessary, the agency shall prepare a waiver valuation.  A person preparing or reviewing a waiver valuation is precluded from complying with Standard Rules 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, as in effect in the current edition, as promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(d) A person performing a waiver valuation under subsection (c) must have sufficient understanding of the local real estate market to be qualified to make the waiver valuation.
