Section 2.3.3.6
2.3.3.6. Reconciliation and Final Opinion of Market Value.The appraiser must explain the reasoning applied to arrive at the final opinion of value and how the results of each approach to value were weighed in that opinion, and the reliability of each approach to value for solving the particular appraisal problem. See Section 1.6.
The appraiser shall also state the final opinion of value of all of the property under appraisal as a single amount, including the contributory value of fixtures, timber, minerals, and water rights, if any. The appraiser must avoid making a summation appraisal.136 The appraiser is solely responsible for the final opinion of value. If that value opinion includes elements of value that were based on estimates developed by others (e.g., timber cruisers, mineral appraisers), the appraiser cannot merely assume their accuracy. The reasonableness of the subsidiary estimates must be confirmed in accordance with Section 1.13.
