There are no other “extraordinary assumptions’, and no “hypothetical condftions” being made in this report. If
this “extraordinary assumption” is found not to be true, the market value may be impacted.

The client is Village Of Gowanda. The. “intended use”of the appraisal is partial disposition purposes. The “intended

The property includes one municipal tax parcel improved with two buildings and parking areas. There is a 9,736.

land area is 19,301 sf, or 0.44 acre.  .

The front building facing Main Street is owner-occupied by Village of Gowancla Municipal Offices and Police. The

is under-utilized and in below-average condition.

The second building to the rear is a heated storage building with first-flor garages in average condition and
