As of today’s valuation effective date, an appraiser knows a property is residentially zoned. The analysis is expressly requested as if commercial rezoning had already occurred today. What kind of assignment condition does that premise describe?

Correct Answer

C) A hypothetical condition because it contradicts a known fact as of the effective date.

The premise contradicts known zoning as of the stated effective date and is therefore a hypothetical condition. Possible future approval does not turn a known present fact into uncertainty; identifying the condition does not alone establish that its use is appropriate.

Answer Options
A
An extraordinary assumption, because the rezoning might occur at a later date after the report.
B
A jurisdictional exception created by the client’s request.
C
A hypothetical condition because it contradicts a known fact as of the effective date.
D
A limiting condition that eliminates the need to identify the premise.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The premise contradicts known zoning as of the stated effective date and is therefore a hypothetical condition. Possible future approval does not turn a known present fact into uncertainty; identifying the condition does not alone establish that its use is appropriate.
