A. Data Documentation and Appraisal Reporting Standards

Part VI Acquisition Analysis 90

A-29. Recapitulation. The appraiser shall show the difference between the value of the whole property and the value of the remainder by deducting the property's after value from its before value.

A-30. Allocation and Explanation of Damages. Damages, as such, are not appraised. However, the appraiser shall briefly explain any damages to the remainder property and allocate the difference in the value of the property before and after the acquisition between the value of the acquisition and damages to the remainder. The appraiser should note that such allocation is an accounting tabulation and not necessarily indicative of the appraisal method employed.

     If damages have been measured by a cost to cure, the appraiser must justify the cost to cure 91 and demonstrate that the cost to cure is less than the damage would be if the cure was not undertaken.

A-31. Explanation of Special Benefits. The appraiser shall identify any special benefits accruing to the remainder property and explain how and why those benefits have occurred.


90. This part of these Standards is applicable only in partial acquisition appraisals. It should be noted that the requirements in Part VI are beyond the formal scope of the appraisal. They are required to assist the agency meet its obligations under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U. S. C. §4601, et seq .). If the appraisal report is specifically being prepared for condemnation trial purposes, appraisers should be aware that government's trial counsel may instruct that Part VI of the appraisal report be omitted.

91. This may require the services of a consultant; see Section D-4.
