How much do land appraisals cost?

Land appraisal fees typically range from $400-$1,200 depending on the land size, complexity, location, and intended use. Agricultural land and large development sites may cost more due to the detailed analysis required.

What factors affect land value?

Land value is influenced by location, zoning, accessibility, utilities, topography, soil quality, market conditions, development potential, and comparable sales in the area. Each factor is carefully analyzed during the appraisal process.

How long does a land appraisal take?

Most land appraisals are completed within 3-7 business days after the site visit. Complex agricultural land or large development sites may take 1-2 weeks depending on the appraiser's workload and research requirements.

What information do I need for a land appraisal?

You'll need property details, survey information, zoning documentation, any existing permits or restrictions, access information, utility availability, and any recent comparable sales data you may have.

Do land appraisals include mineral rights?

Standard land appraisals typically focus on surface rights and development potential. If you need mineral rights evaluated, this requires a specialized appraisal and should be discussed with your appraiser beforehand.

How accurate are land appraisals?

Professional land appraisals provide reliable valuations based on current market data, comparable sales, and thorough analysis. However, land values can fluctuate with market conditions, so appraisals are most accurate at the time they're completed.
