How much does a land appraiser make?

Federal wage data does not report land appraisers separately; they fall within the property appraisers and assessors category, with a median annual wage of $67,960 in May 2025. Vacant land work depends on the credential: a Certified Residential appraiser may appraise vacant or unimproved land only where its highest and best use is for one-to-four family purposes, while larger or complex land requires the Certified General credential.
