About this file

This document is a GSA Fair Market Value Appraisal Report Checklist designed to guide and review appraisal reports for federal property valuations. The comprehensive checklist spans multiple sections including an Introduction, Factual Data, Analyses and Conclusions, and Exhibits/Addenda, providing detailed review criteria for appraisers and GSA reviewers. The checklist requires appraisers to thoroughly document property characteristics, market analysis, valuation approaches (Cost, Sales Comparison, and Income Capitalization), highest and best use analysis, and include specific exhibits and documentation.

Key requirements include ensuring the appraisal report is a USPAP 2-2(a) defined narrative report, contains comprehensive property and market data, discusses regional and neighborhood characteristics, analyzes property rights and zoning, describes improvements and potential renovations, provides detailed comparables analysis, and includes appropriate reconciliation of valuation approaches. The document mandates that appraisers address specific elements such as property identification, scope of work, market trends, occupancy projections, operating expenses, and include exhibits like plot plans, tax maps, comparative data maps, and appraiser qualifications. The checklist serves as a rigorous quality control mechanism to ensure consistent, comprehensive, and reliable property appraisals for GSA.
