Property tax & assessment

An assessed value can raise questions about how a property compares with the market. A residential appraisal may help document a property-specific opinion of value.

When this appraisal helps

Before ordering, confirm the relevant valuation date, submission deadlines and evidence requirements with the assessing authority or your adviser. An appraisal does not guarantee a change to an assessment.

What the work considers

The agreed scope guides the property research, observation and market analysis. Relevant property characteristics, condition, improvements and comparable sales help support the opinion of value.

Start with the right information

  • Assessment notice
  • Required valuation date
  • Applicable evidence requirements and deadline
  • Property condition and improvement information

From request to report

Send the property address and purpose. Scott reviews the assignment, discusses the fee and timing, and confirms access needs. Research and analysis follow before delivery of the report for its agreed intended use.

A question worth asking

Does an appraisal automatically change my assessment?

No. The relevant authority decides how evidence is considered. Confirm the procedure and whether an appraisal would be useful before ordering.

How much does an appraisal cost?

The fee depends on the property, location and assignment requirements. Send the property address and purpose so Scott can review the scope and provide a quote.

How long will it take?

Scheduling and completion depend on the assignment and current availability. Mention any deadline when you contact Scott; timing is confirmed before work begins.

An appraisal is an opinion of property value. Your attorney, accountant, lender or other adviser should confirm requirements for your particular matter.
