What is the difference between Mass Appraisal and Individual Appraisal? Mass Appraisal Mass appraisal is defined as the systematic appraisal of groups of properties as of a given date using standardized procedures and statistical testing. Sales data are analyzed and adjustments are made by the appraisers based on what buyers paid in the market. These adjustments are applied to the large populations of properties to estimate the value using a Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system. RPAD follows the ROH to apply mass appraisal to value all properties for ad valorem taxation purposes to obtain uniform and equalized assessments throughout the county. RPAD appraisers have been continuously and actively trained by International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) instructors and its resources. Individual Appraisal Individual appraisals are done by a fee appraiser on a single property, for purchasing, refinancing, or estate planning upon lender’s or homeowner’s request. The appraiser typically selects three or more sales to estimate the value. These sales are analyzed and adjustments are made based on what buyers paid. The adjustments are manually applied to estimate the value of the property requested by the client. Fee appraisers typically follow different guidelines to perform their assignments and scope of work.
