forwarded to CEMA for decision.

2. A State board certified and licensed appraiser must make all appraisals.

5. Manufactured homes must be appraised “where they are” on the lots from which they are to be sold.

6. All properties must be evaluated in a “pre-flood” condition as of the date of the flooding event.

7. The appraiser must use a sales comparison approach for all appraisals. This approach must be used

floodplain when the subject property is located in a floodplain. All these properties to be appraised are
