Are all appraisers qualified to complete a conservation easement appraisal?

There are no specific credentials required for appraising conservation easements but not all appraisers are familiar with the unique nature of these easements or have experience appraising them. In selecting an appraiser, consider:

• Is the appraiser licensed by the state of Washington? What type of license does the appraiser hold? With its potential for complicated analysis, a conservation easement appraisal may require an appraiser licensed at the highest level—state certified general real estate appraiser (license number begins with 270-11).
  
  
• Does the appraiser have experience with conservation easements? Has the appraiser taken classes specifically targeting conservation easement appraisals? Knowledge and experience are essential.
  
  
• How much will the appraisal cost? The cost should reflect the complex nature of this work.
