You do not need to prepare a binder before calling an appraiser. But the more of the following you can put your hands on, the faster the assignment moves and the better the report reflects your property.
For any property
- Property address and parcel identification number (on your tax bill or the county property appraiser’s website)
- Deed or legal description
- Survey, site plan or plat, if you have one
- Any prior appraisal, even an old one
- Environmental reports, wetland delineations or soil reports
- Information on easements, access agreements, deed restrictions or pending zoning changes
- The purpose of the appraisal and the date the value needs to be as of (today or a date of death, for example)
For land and acreage
- Zoning and future land use designation, if you know it
- Utility availability (water, sewer, power) at the property line
- Any permits, site plan approvals, or development orders
- Agricultural classification status and any leases for grazing, crops or timber
For commercial and industrial buildings
- Rent roll and copies of leases
- Operating statements for the last two to three years
- Building size and year built, and any plans or as-builts
- Recent capital improvements: roof, HVAC, parking, etc.
- Insurance bills
- A contact who can provide access for the inspection
What if I do not have most of this?
That is common, especially with inherited property. We can obtain much of it through public records and our data sources. Send what you have and tell us what you do not, and we will fill in the rest. Call (813) 841-1927 to get started.
