Property Valuation
In South Carolina, a 'special purpose property' such as a church or hospital is most challenging to appraise using the sales comparison approach because:
ASpecial purpose properties are worth more
BThere are few or no comparable sales of similar properties✓ Correct
CThey are always assessed at higher rates
DAppraisers are not allowed to appraise special purpose properties
Explanation
Special purpose properties rarely sell, making it difficult to find comparable sales. The cost approach is often the primary valuation method for unique or special-purpose properties.
