AC 150/5100-11 <br />APPENDIX 4 <br />Page 5 <br />INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING UNCOMPLICATED APPRAISAL FORMAT SHORT FORM <br />APPRAISAL —FORM TYPE <br />1. The form type appraisal may be used only in <br />reporting appraisals of unimproved land and im- <br />proved single family or duplex residential prop- <br />erties. Its use assumes the availability of reasonably <br />comparable market data requiring limited adjust- <br />ments. <br />The brevity of the form does not relieve the ap- <br />praiser of his responsibility to thoroughly research <br />and analyze the market in the development of his <br />value conclusions nor does it eliminate the neces- <br />sity for gathering and retaining adequate additional <br />information about the subject property and/or the <br />market data which might be essential in the event <br />of subsequent inquiry or condemnation. <br />The reports shall be prepared in ink or typewrit- <br />ten in accordance with the following: <br />2. Page l—Subject Property Description. <br />Item 1.—List the name(s) of the owner(s), his <br />mailing address, and telephone number if available. <br />Item 2.—Location of property shall be shown by <br />street address. If an address is nonexistent or does <br />not readily reveal a specific geographical location <br />(as in the case of a rural postal route or box num- <br />ber), describe the location of the property by ref- <br />erence to names of streets, roads, highway and/or <br />distances from describable landmarks. <br />Item 3.—Insert the date of the title report and <br />supplement if any, under which the appraisal was <br />made. Attach a copy of the title report and supple- <br />ment(s) as the last page of the report. <br />Item 4. Zoning shall be written in meaningful <br />terms, i.e., single family, 7,200 square feet, etc. If <br />the property is not now zoned state "none." <br />Item 5.—Highest and best use of the property <br />must be stated. <br />Item 6.—If present use is the same as highest and <br />best use state "same." If present use is not the same <br />as highest and best use, state the present use in the <br />space provided and explain why this use is not the <br />highest and best use under Remarks. <br />Item 7.—If the Rights to be Taken are other than <br />fee simple, i.e., easement ( s), etc. include a brief <br />explanatory statement. <br />Item 8.—Show all transfers of the subject property <br />having occurred in the previous 5 years and give a <br />brief narrative of the relationship to market value <br />at the time of sale. Briefly describe any physical <br />changes to the property such as additional construc- <br />tion, remodeling, etc. which may have occurred in <br />the period between the sales or between the date of <br />the last sale and date of evaluation, and indicate the <br />probable effect upon market value. If more than one <br />sale has occurred, an explanation should be given <br />for any change in price, not attributable to physical <br />changes. Examples of such items are contract terms <br />vs. cash sale, change in neighborhood development, <br />changes in general economics, etc. If additional <br />space is needed, continue under "Remarks". If the <br />sale is indicative of value, include and analyze as <br />any other comparable sale. Should the recorded sale <br />not reflect market value, give a brief narrative con- <br />clusion. <br />Item 9.—Physical description of subject neigh- <br />borhood, site and improvement data shall be accom- <br />plished by placing a check or X in the appropriate <br />box under each heading. In the event no proper de- <br />scriptive word is found under a particular heading, <br />insert the proper word in the provided blank, or, if <br />none, cross out an existing word and insert the <br />proper term. <br />NOTE. —Some topics call for a descriptive rating <br />of poor, fair, good, or excellent. These terms are <br />recognized as being relative or subjective, there- <br />fore subject and comparable sales must be rated as <br />they relate to each other and not as against some <br />pre -determined standard. <br />Item 10.—Other Improvements and/or site im- <br />provements should be briefly described in the area <br />provided. <br />3. Page 3—Comparative Analysis. <br />Each comparable sale property must be narra- <br />tively compared to the subject property explaining <br />items of similarity and dissimilarity. Adjustments in <br />dollar amounts, plus or minus, will be made for only <br />those items of dissimilarity which affect market value <br />to a measurable degree. The appraiser's explana- <br />tion must contain his reasoning for various elements <br />of adjustment, if any, in sufficient detail to allow <br />the reader to make a sound judgment as to the <br />validity and acceptability of the appraiser's adjust- <br />ments. Each sale must be processed into an "Indi- <br />93 <br />
