"Bob Reamer offered the lowest price (by half, in one case) of 4 bids for a cottage appraisal. I confirmed the hire by phone on a Thursday, he was going to be in the area the next day so he visited the property on Friday, using a key I had directed him to in my absence. He did the paperwork search. I had the appraisal by email on Tuesday, paying by phone and debit card. He replied promptly to questions, welcomed a list of improvements since the initial purchase, saying more info was always helpful. Photos, floor plan with measurements, and comparables are all helpful, and he also provided both an Appraised Value and a Suggested Asking Price given the current market. Exactly what I needed to know, more promptly than I'd imagined. Great work. Recommended!"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
