Commissioners approve eight appraisals at $650 each to list county parcels for sale
Summary
County staff received a single vendor quote of $650 per parcel from Walter Appraisal for eight appraisals (total $5,200); commissioners approved contracting the appraiser to meet legal requirements for listing county property for sale.
County staff told the Linn County Commission they solicited appraisers to value eight county parcels and received one quote: Walter Appraisal offered $650 per parcel with a three-week turnaround. The total for eight appraisals is $5,200.
Staff said appraisal work is legally required before listing county-owned parcels for sale and that outreach to other appraisers produced few responses. Commissioners moved to contract Walter Appraisal for the eight appraisals and approved the motion by voice vote.
Officials said completed appraisals will enable the county to set posted listing prices and then enter negotiations with potential buyers under the county’s sale procedures.
