PURPOSE OF LAND VALUE ESTIMATES
• Sale and Purchase• Development• Financing• Land Leasing• Government Actions• Agriculture• Court Actions
5
SITE VALUE ESTIMATES
Allocation for Tax Purposes Ad Valorem taxes
o Land and improvement values are often separated
Income taxeso Building value is allocated for depreciation purposes
6
SITE VALUE ESTIMATES
Site Value in the Three Approaches Cost Approach
o Land + Building = Total Value
Income Approacho Certain techniques require allocated site value
Sales Comparison Approacho Estimate of land value is often needed for comparison

METHODS OF APPRAISING LAND
• Market/Direct Comparison
• Allocation or Abstraction
• Land Development
• Land Residual

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Definition:
“The reasonable and profitable use that will support the highest land value as of the date of value.”
A Highest and Best Use Opinion is Required by USPAP when the assignment is Market Value

STEPS IN THE MARKET METHOD
Appraising Land
12
SITE VALUE-ALLOCATION OR ABSTRACTION
When to Use When vacant land sales are not available To appraise shared land interests
Example Sale Price $240,000 Dep. Cost of Bldg -$156,000 Abs. Site Value $84,000
Allocation In some jurisdictions, the allocation between land
and improvements by the County Tax Assessor may give the appraiser some guidance. In other jurisdictions, it is meaningless.
13
LAND DEVELOPMENT METHOD
Used to Estimate Value of Land Ready to be Subdivided.
Used When no Comparable Sales Available, or Detailed Analysis of Project is Desired.
Procedure for Residential Subdivision: Estimate number of lots to be developed Estimate total gross sales dollars Subtract all direct and indirect costs of
development Conclude the value of the raw land
The Lots May Be of Equal Value

LAND RESIDUAL METHOD
Version of the Income ApproachBased on the Principle of Surplus
ProductivityUsed when no Comparable Sales are
AvailableSuitable for Vacant or Improved income
properties Estimate net operating income for property Estimate income attributable to improvements Capitalize residual income to the land
16
MARKET COMPARISON TECHNIQUES
Comparability Criteria Competitive property Market transaction Recent in time of sale
Sales/Listings of Subject Analyze any agreement of sale/option/listings close to
the date of value Investigate prior sales (36 mo)
Data Needed Size, shape, other physical features Legal data (zoning, taxes, restrictions, etc.)

MARKET COMPARISON TECHNIQUES
Sales History of the Comparables Important in speculative markets Assess the relevance of any transfer
Data Sources Public records, MLS, commercial
databases
Verification Open market transaction Price and terms Assumed loans

SUMMARY
23
The five primary methods used by appraisers for land values are:
1. The market method2. The allocation method3. The abstraction method4. The land development method5. The land residual method
The most important physical factors include size, shape, frontage, width, depth, plottage, type of lot, and topography. Legal and locational factors include the most likely profitable use, zoning and other land use regulations, as well as utilities and public facilities available.
