Apply for an expert opinion on the market value of a plot of land or the right to a plot of land

If you would like to know the value of an undeveloped or developed property, you can have it determined by a committee of experts via a market value appraisal.

An expert committee for real estate values has been formed for the areas of the districts, the independent cities and some cities belonging to the district. It is made up of honorary members (such as architects, civil engineers, tax officials, farmers, real estate value experts, surveyors, etc.). In principle, the Committee operates autonomously and independently. The office of the expert committee is set up at the respective office for land management or at the municipal authority of the city.

The market value (market value) is determined by the price that would be achieved in the ordinary course of business at the time to which the determination relates according to the legal circumstances and actual characteristics, the other quality and the location of the property or other object of valuation, regardless of unusual or personal circumstances.

Please contact the offices of the expert committees at the Offices for Land Management, independent cities and some cities belonging to the district.
