Description of Work

The primary purpose of Appraiser I (Staff Appraiser) is to prepare real estate condemnation appraisals (primarily narrative format), right of way estimates and feasibility studies. A significant amount of time must be set aside to help train and monitor Registered Trainees within the Area Office. Real estate appraisals are used to support the Department’s request for reimbursement of right of way costs from the FHWA and as a basis for negotiations with the property owners. Right of way estimates and feasibility studies are used to prioritize and budget funding for future highway construction projects. The Appraiser provides expert testimony in condemnation trials in coordination with the Office of the Attorney’s General. The Appraiser also provides sales and cost data to the Negotiating Section for the preparation of Right of Way Claim Reports on minor claims. This program involves the real estate appraising of properties affected by the NCDOT Highway Program. The appraisal process consists of a before and after value along with determining damages to the remaining property. Work involves considerable public contact with landowners, state and local officials and other highway officials. Work is guided by federal and state laws, policies and procedures and is performed under the general supervision of a Right of Way Appraiser who reviews work in progress and upon completion for accuracy and performance to established standards.
