    That depends on what state you are in. What state ARE you in?

    Usually it will be the fair market value of the property. This is easy if the property was shoplifted, not so easy if it was stolen from a residence or vehicle.

    I cannot find anything specific, but I imagine that the fair market value must be established by the prosecution. Of course this can be arguable. So, if the value of the property stolen is close to the line, then the defense may have a chance to convince the court that the charge should be the lesser offense.
