A Georgia donor claiming more than $5,000 for donated property files Section B of Form 8283 with a qualified appraisal. We prepare the appraisal and complete the appraiser's part of the form, for donors anywhere in Georgia.
A qualified appraisal is required for items reportable in Section B and in certain cases must be attached.
AppraiseItNow provides qualified appraisals for charitable donations throughout Georgia, helping donors substantiate non-cash contributions that exceed the IRS threshold of $5,000 per item or group of similar items. Donations of art valued at $20,000 or more require a full appraisal attached to the tax return, and contributions exceeding $500,000 require the appraisal to accompany IRS Form 8283. All appraisals are completed no earlier than 60 days before the donation date and delivered before the tax return due date.
AppraiseItNow serves clients through both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get a qualified valuation regardless of where you are located. Our appraisers in Georgia are available across the state, from Atlanta and Savannah to smaller communities throughout the region.
We appraise a wide range of non-cash assets commonly donated to qualifying organizations across Georgia, including:
We work with individual donors, business owners, estate administrators, and nonprofit advisors across Georgia who need a credentialed, USPAP-compliant appraisal to support a charitable contribution deduction or satisfy IRS documentation requirements.
What Georgia clients say we are known for
Across 38 published Georgia appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
Was very impressed from start to finish with the level of communication, promptness, and professionalism. Aron and Joe made the appraisal process easy and painless. Highly recommend.
Crypto Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!
Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
10 Stars!! Joe was a pleasure to work with. Answered all my questions with incredible patience. Payment was swift and they got started immediately and the turn around time was much sooner than I expected. (I was on a time crunch and they got it done for me incredibly fast!) And the best part was the appraisal was even more than what I was expecting. And everything I need was sent to my email. Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone needing an appraisal!
Auto Appraisal for Charitable Donation
No. The Georgia Conservation Tax Credit under O.C.G.A. § 48-7-29.12 and Rule 391-1-6 applies only to qualified donations of real property for conservation purposes, and references to "Georgia charitable donation appraisal rules" usually mean that real-property regime. Donated art, vehicles, equipment, and other personal property in Georgia follow the federal IRS substantiation rules instead.
Personal property, in most cases. Georgia treats trade fixtures, meaning machinery, equipment, and furniture installed by a tenant for business use, as personal property appraised separately from the underlying real estate. That classification shapes how a donated piece of equipment gets described, valued, and reported on Form 8283.
With the federal tax return, and nowhere else. Georgia has no separate state appraisal review body for donated personal property: the IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue see the valuation through the filed return, while county tax assessors handle only ad valorem assessment under the state's Appraisal Procedure Manual, a system unrelated to charitable deductions.
Whenever the claimed deduction for donated personal property reaches $5,000. Federal rules then require a qualified appraisal and Section B of Form 8283 carrying the signatures of both the appraiser and the donee organization, with additional attachment requirements for high-value artwork. Georgia law does not alter these thresholds or add a state appraiser credential for the task.
