How much does an agricultural appraiser make?

Agricultural appraisal is a specialty within real property appraisal, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not publish a separate wage series for it. The occupation-wide figure is a median annual wage of $67,960 for property appraisers and assessors as of May 2025, with the lowest 10% earning less than $40,030 and the highest 10% earning more than $122,660. Farm and land appraisal is also described in industry sources as a profitable niche in rural markets.

Nationally, property appraisers and assessors earned a median annual wage of $67,960 in May 2025, with the lowest 10 percent earning less than $40,030 and the highest 10 percent more than $122,660, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Appraising farms and timberland is nonresidential work, so an agricultural appraiser generally holds the Certified General credential, which permits appraisals of all real property without value limits.
