        327G.79  VALUING PROPERTY IN CONTROVERSY.         The department of inspections and appeals' determination and order      shall be just and equitable and in the case of the determination of      the fair market value of the property, shall be based in part upon at      least three independent appraisals prepared by certified appraisers.      Each party shall select one appraiser and each appraisal shall be      paid for by the party for whom the appraisal is prepared.  The two      appraisers shall select a third appraiser and the costs of this      appraisal shall be divided equally between the parties.  If the      appraisers selected by the parties cannot agree on selection of a      third appraiser, the state department of transportation shall appoint      a third appraiser and the costs of this appraisal shall be divided      equally between the parties.         The department of inspections and appeals' determination and order      is final for the purpose of administrative review to the district      court as provided in chapter 17A.  The district court's scope of      review shall be confined to whether there is substantial evidence to      support the department of inspections and appeals' determination and      order.         For purposes of this division, unless the context otherwise      requires, "department" means the state department of      transportation.
