Appraisers in the appraisal committee; appointment and dismissal

An expert committee is formed at each district office (for the area of the district) and at each independent municipality (for its area). The expert committee must include a civil servant in the specialist career path of administration and finance with a specialist focus on non-technical administrative service. As a rule, the appraisers are appointed and dismissed by the district administrative authority. In addition, the expert committee must include one employee each from the competent financial and state surveying authorities. These appraisers are appointed on the recommendation of an authority designated by the State Ministry of Finance and for Home Affairs.

For the area of the Free State of Bavaria, an Upper Expert Committee is formed. The "Upper Expert Committee for Property Values in the Free State of Bavaria" is an autonomous and independent expert body, which at the beginning of its term of office is composed of a chairman and 25 honorary further experts. The appraisers of the Higher Appraisal Committee are appointed and dismissed by the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Construction and Transportation. Three appraisers must be employees of the finance or surveying administration. The appointment of these appraisers is made on the proposal of the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and for Home Affairs or an authority designated by it.

The experts are appointed for four years. A repeated appointment is possible.

Anyone who is excluded from the office of honorary administrative judge under the provisions of the Administrative Court Code may not be appointed as an expert. The competent authority shall dismiss experts if the prerequisites for appointment have not been met or have subsequently ceased to exist. Appraisers can be recalled if there is an important reason. Honorary appraisers are to be dismissed from their office upon application.
