Comprehensive timberland valuation for acquisitions, dispositions, litigation, and taxation.
Timberland Appraisal Inc. provides quantitative forest resource analysis and appraisal services to landowners, investors, financial institutions, and legal counsel. Our analytical approach integrates timber inventory data, market analysis, and economic modeling to produce defensible valuations that allow purchasers to immediately begin operations.
We provide multi-state appraisals for large timberland owners, working with corporate staff under rigorous time schedules to perform appraisals involving numerous species and forest types. Since 1991, we have valued timberlands worth over $25 billion in the Pacific Northwest and around the world as part of company acquisitions and third-party valuations.
Our appraisal services cover timberland across North America and internationally:
We provide appraisals for timber and timberland in a variety of contexts, including acquisition appraisals for major corporate purchases, condemnation appraisals for federal and state government, tax assessment challenges and appeals, partnership dissolutions, estate valuations, and litigation support and expert witness testimony.
Our appraisal process integrates timber inventory collection and data management to provide complete integration into the appraisal, end-of-year accounting, development of taxation strategies, and overall strategic planning associated with the owning of fee timberland.
Mr. La Mont has served as expert witness and provided litigation support in complex timberland valuation cases, including the Pacific Lumber (Palco) bankruptcy proceedings and State of Oregon v. Oregon Counties. Our team provides thorough documentation and clear expert testimony to support legal proceedings.
