Why must a report identify any real property interest that is being excluded from the value opinion?
Correct Answer
D) The reader must know what the figure does not cover
Why this is correct: The appraisal report must clearly state what property interest is being appraised. If any component of the real property is excluded (e.g., mineral rights, timber, fixtures), this must be disclosed so the reader understands the scope and limitations of the value opinion. Why the other choices are wrong: "Excluded interests must be valued in an addendum" is not required; they are simply excluded. "Exclusions determine the report option required" confuses report content with report format. "Exclusions must be approved by the intended users" is not a USPAP requirement. Exam tip: Disclose exclusions to define the bundle of rights being valued.
