Intended Users The US Department of Interior-Appraisal & Valuation Services Office-West
Region (DOI-AVSO), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Landowners.
Intended Use There is no known legal encumbrance for the existing roadway across the subject properties that has existed for many years. The intended use of the assignment is to assist the BIA in fulfilling their trust responsibilities in perfecting the land for compensation, based on a current date of value, to the landowner(s) for the granting of a Right of Way many years ago.
Property Description: The subject properties will be appraised as a/an vacant ☒ / improved ☐ parcels on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon. These are Native Allotments held in trust status by the United States of America for the landowners per the BIA Title Status Report. Any structural improvements are not to be appraised.

Property I.D.: See above list
Land Area: See above list
Property Interest: The interest to be appraised is comprised of those specific real property rights divested from the fee simple estate of the subject tract(s) by the right-of-way.

Outstanding Rights: A Bureau of Indian Affairs Title Status Report will be provided on award.

SECTION 2 – Appraisal Requirements & Instructions
Appraisal Standards The primary appraisal standards must be the current edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as of the Effective Date of Appraisal. The Appraisal Report must be presented in a narrative style appraisal report format and more specifically must comply with USPAP SR2-2(a). The Appraisal must also be compliant with any supplemental requirements contained in this SOW. A Restricted Appraisal Report is not allowed. The briefest report or project type report is preferred. The Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (“Yellow Book”) should not be employed.
DEFINITIONS 25 CFR § 169.2
Right-of-way An easement or a legal right to go over, under or across tribal land, individually owned Indian land, or BIA land for a specific purpose, including but not limited to building and operating a line or road. This term may also refer to the land subject to the grant of right-of-way; however, in all cases, title to the land remains vested in the landowner. This term does not include service lines.
Fair Market Value (Use this definition) Fair market value means the amount of compensation that a right-of-way would most probably command in an open and competitive market.
Incorporating the regulatory definition of “Compensation” into the definition of “Fair Market Value” under 25 CFR Part 169 enhances clarity and supports the selection of the most appropriate valuation methodology for rights-of-way (ROWs) within Indian Country.
AVSO Statement of Work Page 4 of 14
According to the regulation, 'Fair Market Value' is defined as 'the amount of compensation that a right-of-way would most probably command in an open and competitive market,' while 'Compensation' is defined as 'something bargained for that is fair and reasonable under the circumstances of the agreement.'
Substituting the regulatory definition of 'compensation' into the definition of 'fair market value' reinforces the interpretive framework, yielding:
'Fair market value means the amount of [something bargained for that is fair and reasonable under the circumstances of the agreement] that a right-of-way would most probably command in an open and competitive market.'
This substitution highlights the critical role of negotiated, market-based considerations in ensuring that compensation is just when granting rights-of-way (ROWs). It also emphasizes the importance of verifying the basis for compensation in each ROW transaction used as a reference in valuation analyses.
Understanding how compensation was determined—whether through negotiation, appraisal, or other means—is essential for ensuring that comparable transactions reflect true market behavior.
Without this verification, there is a risk of relying on data that may not meet the standards of fair market value or may not be applicable to the subject property.
This approach aligns with federal appraisal standards and supports transparency, consistency, and defensibility in valuation conclusions, particularly within the unique legal context of Indian Country.
METHODOLOGY
Acceptable methodologies to value include: (1) Direct Comparison, (2) “Before and After” (Federal Rule), or (3) “Value of Taking Plus Damages” (State Rule). Use of other methodologies to value must be requested in writing and approved by the Review Appraiser.
AVSO Statement of Work Page 5 of 14
Effective Date of Value The Effective Date of value for these assignments are current to the last date of inspection. The AVSO Review Appraiser may approve in advance of other conditions in writing when appropriate.
Extraordinary Assumptions (EA’s) If the appraiser determines that an extraordinary assumption is necessary for the completion of the assignment, the appraiser must contact AVSO for approval.
The appraiser must clearly identify any Extraordinary Assumptions used within the report.
Hypothetical Conditions (HC’s) The appraiser must clearly identify any Hypothetical Conditions used within the report.
The following hypothetical condition is applicable to appraisal assignments involving properties in trust and restricted status.
• It is a hypothetical condition that the subject tract could be sold and purchased on the open market without any restrictions associated with Indian trust or restricted status.
• It is a hypothetical condition that the subject parcel has similar land use restrictions (zoning) and property tax load associated with surrounding private property as well as the comparable sales data used in the analysis.
Even though the assignment is to provide land value, the appraiser must disclose and provide a general description of the improvements as of the date of value.
If the appraiser determines that additional hypothetical conditions are necessary for the completion of the assignment, he/she must contact the AVSO Review Appraiser for prior written approval.
Jurisdictional Exceptions (JE’s) If the appraiser determines that a Jurisdictional Exception is necessary for the completion of the assignment, the appraiser must contact AVSO for prior written approval.
When an assignment involves a jurisdictional exception, an appraiser must
• Identify the law or regulation that precludes compliance with USPAP;
• Comply with that law or regulation;
• Clearly and conspicuously disclose in the report the part of USPAP that is voided by the law or regulation; and
• Cite in the report the law or regulation requiring this exception to USPAP compliance.
The appraiser must clearly identify any Jurisdictional Exceptions used within the report.
AVSO Statement of Work Page 6 of 14
Property Inspection The appraiser must personally inspect the subject property and verify all market data utilized in the subject value conclusions unless the AVSO Review Appraiser has approved other conditions in writing.
Pre-Work Meeting The appraiser may be required to attend a pre-work meeting with the assigned AVSO Review Appraiser. The AVSO Review Appraiser will coordinate the date, time & place of the meeting. If assignment conditions demand, or this is the first appraisal for AVSO, the Appraiser should contact the identified AVSO Review Appraiser to set up a pre-work meeting at the beginning of the appraisal process. The purpose of the pre-work meeting will be to clarify any issues pertaining to the scope of work, appraisal report requirements, and other concerns specific to the appraisal assignment. The meeting can be either by teleconference or at the AVSO Regional field office.
