How is easement value determined?
Two independent appraisers, contracted by the County, look at the market value of the property unrestricted and then the market value if the property was restricted. The difference between the two is the easement value. These appraisal reports are submitted to the SADC review appraiser who examines the appraisals for errors, omissions, appropriate procedure and fully justified reasoning. Upon completion of the review, the review appraiser recommends a value to the SADC for certification.
