The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified insurance claim appraisals for Kansas policyholders and insurers facing disputes over the value of damaged or destroyed property. Under Kansas law, either party may make a written demand for appraisal when a disagreement exists over the amount of loss, triggering a structured process where each side selects an independent appraiser. Kansas operates under KSA Chapter 40, which governs unfair claims settlement practices and requires insurers to maintain detailed claim files subject to review by the Kansas Insurance Commissioner.
AppraiseItNow serves clients throughout Kansas with both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it easy to get a credentialed valuation regardless of your location. Our appraisers in Kansas are available for engagements in Wichita, Overland Park, Topeka, Kansas City, and communities across the state.

AppraiseItNow serves Kansas homeowners, business owners, collectors, and fleet operators who need independent valuations to support or resolve insurance claims, as well as insurers and attorneys requiring defensible third-party appraisals for claim documentation and dispute resolution.
What Kansas clients say we are known for
Across 17 published Kansas 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 much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!

Auto Appraisal for Insurance Claim
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗

Motorcycle Appraisal for Insurance Claim
They rarely should. Kansas appraises taxable personal property as of January 1 each year using state-prescribed valuation guides, and assessed values are statutory fractions of fair market value, such as 30% for tax-roll motor vehicles and 25% for commercial machinery under K.S.A. 79-1439. A claim needs loss-date market or replacement value, which is a different number produced by different methods.
Because since a 2024 change, owners no longer file an annual rendition with the county appraiser when nothing has changed; they only report changes. Official records can therefore lag reality by years, one more reason a disputed loss amount calls for a current independent appraisal rather than the tax roll.
Every tangible thing subject to ownership that is not part of real property, per the statutory definition Kansas counties apply, expressly including ATVs, trailers, golf carts, watercraft, aircraft, and untagged antique vehicles. That breadth matters in claims because policyholders often overlook titled or registered items when listing losses.
For the tax-side value, owners can appeal the Notice of Value by contacting the county appraiser by May 15 for an informal meeting, or file a payment under protest, generally by December 20 if the tax was paid before that date. When a tax value is being cited in an insurance dispute, those same records show how and when the number was set.
