Controversies in the United States

Valuing trophy property for federally financed land acquisitions is unique among appraisal assignments, in that supplemental standards proffered by many (but not all) federal agencies require that comparable transactions used for valuation be limited to those with an "economic use" and not those acquired solely for "preservation" purposes.[2] Currently, only acquisitions by certain Federal agencies must adhere to this supplemental appraisal standard.
