Answer to Question #2, Illustration for AO-29

The appraiser’s peers for this assignment would be other appraisers competent to complete a similar assignment.  If special expertise is required, other state certified general appraisers without the required expertise and knowledge would not be the appraiser’s peers for this assignment.  Identifying appraisers with expertise and competency in appraising similar complex property types or unusual intended uses may require seeking appraisers from other geographic areas.
