Rule 3205. Appraisal of Property. Appraisal Fees

    (a) Unless a party in interest files a request for appraisal with the sheriff within ten days after the date specified in the sheriff's notice, the sheriff without making an appraisal shall accept the value of the property set forth in the claim.

    (b) A party requesting an appraisal shall advance the sheriff's appraisal fee. The sheriff shall then appraise the property and immediately give notice of the amount of the appraisal by ordinary mail to all parties to whom the sheriff's notice was mailed. The sheriff or any party in interest may apply to the court for an order fixing a special appraisal fee where the appraisal of a large quantity of property or the services of experts shall be required.
