A rural property appraisal is the process of determining the value of a rural property, typically for the purpose of buying, selling, financing, or estate planning.

A rural property appraiser inspects the property, gathers relevant market data, and uses various appraisal methods to determine the value of the property.

The key difference is the type of property being appraised. Rural properties are typically larger, have more land, and may have different uses, such as agriculture or forestry. Urban properties are typically smaller, have less land, and are used primarily for residential or commercial purposes.

You may need a rural property appraisal for buying, selling, or financing a property, estate planning, tax purposes, or dispute resolution.
