One of the phases of this measure involves appraisal of land being contributed by the parties, before and after the consolidation. Land appraisal in the consolidation procedure is carried out according to different principles than when determining the market value of agricultural land. The main objective of the article is to present the factors having an effect on land value determined in the land consolidation procedure and on the market value of agricultural land. An attempt was made to compare the factors taken into account in both cases: the consolidation and the determination of market value and some differences and similarities were presented. Based on the presented analysis it was found that the values in the consolidation procedure are based on object features such as soil quality classification, location, neighborhood, etc. There is a lack of a factor which would adjust the estimated values to the market prices.
