Amish and Other Non-Electric Property Valuation

In this seminar, we explore non-traditional residential and commercial property types. Because of religious reasons or traditional reasons, some property types are built without some modern utilities or do not utilize these when they exist. This often creates a deficiency in the traditional market (Functional Obsolescence) or a (Superadequacy) to the nontraditional purchaser.

We will research the concept of value to whom and how this fits in with the Market Value definition, and within the concept of Current Use. From there we will explore the three approaches to value. This seminar will wrap up with a hands-on case study, so bring a calculator. This seminar should be informative to all rural assessors and appraisers; it is an all-level class for entry-level to advanced.
