Section XVII-579 - Update of Appraisals (Formerly Section 543)

A. Occasionally, it may become necessary for the appraiser to update appraisals from the original date of valuation to the current date or to a specified date of acquisition. If this should become necessary, the project review appraiser will initiate a contract specifying the required date of valuation, the fee schedule and the completion date for the assignment. All contracts to update shall be as per a specific completion date so as to give ample time for the appraisals to be reviewed by the project review appraiser prior to negotiations.

B. All updated appraisals, where there are value changes by reason of time lapse, shall be supported by updated comparable sales data gathered within the project neighborhood. If sufficient sales data is not available within the subject neighborhood, the appraiser should investigate similar type properties in more removed areas as support for updated values.

C. Updated appraisals shall be submitted to the Appraisal Office for review and if warranted, a revised Estimate of Value will be issued by LDOTD for the purpose of negotiation and acquisition. When the appraiser is required to revise, supplement or otherwise update the appraisal report, no matter the format employed, a revised or updated "Certificate of Appraiser" and "Estimate of Compensation" shall be submitted with the revisions or updates.
