Public and Trust Land Valuation
 
   
 

The Center has been called upon by a variety of clients to establish a fair market value for rights-of-way and property easements. Primarily this service has been requested by federally recognized Indian tribes in their efforts to obtain adequate monetary compensation for their land during electric, natural gas, water line, and road-way rights-of-way negotations. Over the years the Center has worked with numerous Indian tribes in this capacity and has garnered several million dollars for its clients.

A full list of projects under this category can be found in the Center's project database.
