Have you always wanted to work for the City and County of Honolulu (City), but the concepts of mass valuation are just too different from individual property valuation? The Department of Design and Construction (DDC), Land Division, is looking for an experienced Hawaii State-licensed Residential or General Appraiser who is ready for steady work hours and complex, unique, independent appraisal assignments. You will independently appraise residential and residential-related properties involving partial takings, severance damages, easements, access rights, and other unusual or legally sensitive valuation problems. Help the City determine fair market value for properties used to improve our community. 

What You Will Do

• Appraise real property for City acquisition, disposal, rental, and lease 
• Analyze complex valuation problems where comparable data may be limited or unusual
• Research, verify, and maintain comparable sales and market data
• Work with City departments, such as the Department of Parks and Recreation, on land valuation
• Track real property values trends and advise City agencies
• Review and critique appraisals prepared by other appraisers
• Prepare clear, well-supported appraisal reports
• Explain and defend value conclusions when appraisals are reviewed or challenged
