This document summarizes Kosovo's first attempt at mass land valuation. It discusses hiring six external valuers, organizing seminars to establish policies and regulations, examining existing land sale contracts, introducing the project to municipalities and sharing responsibilities, conducting field visits to interview locals and verify land use, drafting initial value zones for agricultural and forest areas, and preparing maps of value zones while facing challenges of lack of representative sale contracts and differences in land values based on access.

8. Challenges –Experiences
 Lack sales contracts and many of them not
representative
 Lack of land area is sold as per Agriculture
use only (Manly people buying land for other purpose in future)
 Methods of income, poor indicator (100 Euro yearly
rent for agriculture Land for 1 ha)
 Big difference in values with neighbors areas
(Properties with access to min road are extremely expensive comparing
neighbors parcels without access to main road, difficulties to create Value
Zones in accordance with regulation where the level difference should be about
20-30%)
