158- Highest & Best Use - Live Online - February 2026 - Vermont Assessors and Listers Association - 2026101831

Highest and best use is a concept in real estate appraisal in which market value is achieved by the reasonably and probable legal land use that results in the highest value. Highest and best use is an essential step in the mass appraisal process and is necessary before market value estimates can be made. Local law may mandate preferential assessments according to specific land uses such as agricultural, historic and so forth rather than the highest and best use. This workshop is designed to provide students with a more in-depth study and understanding of the role and purpose of highest and best use in the appraisal process. Finally, there will be discussion of the unique situations that sometimes arise in a highest and best use analysis. 

This offering is sponsored by Vermont Assessors and Listers Association.
