Administrative Policy Memorandum #1
Determination of Fair Market Value
The Delaware Public Library Construction Assistance Act allows the fair market value of acquired (purchased or donated) land and/or facility to be claimed as non-State share and as a part of the total cost of the project. In order to determine the fair market value, two independent appraisals must be conducted by State certified appraisers and presented to the State within sixty days of receiving deed title of said property. The State will determine the State approved fair market value based on the mean of the two appraisals, however, the State reserves the right to request from the library that a review of the two appraisals be conducted by a State-approved appraisal reviewer. The cost of the appraisals may be included in total project costs.
In order to receive payment of the States authorized share of the value of acquired land and/or facility, a project must comply with the following procedures:
(1) Where the library has purchased the land and/or facility, up to 50% of the State approved appraised value of the land and/or facility will be paid from the State sources upon settlement. To receive payment from State sources, the library must submit to the Department of State, Division of Libraries the land and/or facility appraisal documents and a copy of the signed settlement statement(s). Total payment of State share shall not exceed the amount of funding authorized by the State.
(2) Where the land and/or facility has been donated to the library, up to 50% of the State approved appraised value of the land and/or facility will be credited towards project costs. Invoice(s) for library construction totaling up to 50% of the State approved appraised value of the land and/or facility may be submitted for full payment from State sources. The library must submit to the Department of State, Division of Libraries construction invoice(s) and a letter stating that the non-State share of the invoice(s) will be met by the State approved appraised value. Total payment of State share shall not exceed the amount of funding authorized by the State.
