§ 1258.250.Statement of Valuation Data Exchanged For Each Person Party Intents to Call As Witness

Not every expert on a party's list needs a statement of valuation data -- only those who will give an opinion on one of four specific valuation questions. This section lists them: the value of the property being taken, the amount of damage to the remainder of a larger parcel, the amount of benefit to that remainder, and any other compensation required by Chapter 9's compensation rules or Chapter 10's rules for divided interests.

A witness testifying only to something outside those four categories -- background facts about the property's condition, for example, without offering a valuation opinion -- doesn't trigger the statement requirement. But any witness who will opine on value, damage, benefit, or other compensation under those chapters needs the detailed statement § 1258.260 describes.
