Base Appraisal Reports
What is a Base Appraisal report?
Applicants stake Remote Recreational Cabin Sites on unsurveyed
land, but still want some idea of what the land will cost before
deciding to stake. A Base Appraisal provides that generic parcel
valuation. A Base Appraisal report estimates the value of one
or more Key Parcels, or sample parcels, within a staking area.
Several different types of Key Parcels may be required for a
staking area, e.g. waterfront and interior Key Parcels. Each
Key Parcel is as similar as possible to the basic type of parcel
that will likely be staked. The Base Appraisal describes the
following features for each Key Parcel: location, access, size,
physical features, amenities, and easements/restrictions. The
appraised value for each Key Parcel is based on sales of similar
properties near the staking area, just as if the Key Parcel actually
existed. For additional information view the Department's factsheet
