MDOT may determine that an appraisal is unnecessary because the valuation problem is uncomplicated and the fair market value is estimated at low value, based on a review of available data. Low value is defined as not exceeding $10,000. A Value Determination acts as the offer of just compensation. When the acquisition agent provides a Value Determination offer of just compensation, the property owner is advised of their right to an appraisal.
