About Damage Claim Appraisals in Oklahoma

What types of assets can be appraised for a damage claim in Oklahoma?
We appraise a wide range of assets for damage claims, including vehicles, personal property, equipment, artwork, business assets, and inventory. Each appraisal is tailored to the specific asset and the nature of the damage being claimed.
Are your damage claim appraisals USPAP compliant?
All appraisals completed through AppraiseItNow follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, commonly known as USPAP. This ensures your report meets the professional and ethical standards required by insurers, courts, and other reviewing parties.
Why would someone in Oklahoma need a damage claim appraisal?
Oklahoma's active oil and gas industry means surface damage disputes between operators and landowners are common, and state law under Oklahoma Statutes Section 52-318.5 establishes a formal appraisal process for resolving those claims. Beyond energy-related disputes, Oklahomans also need damage claim appraisals for vehicle losses, storm-damaged personal property, and equipment affected by accidents or natural events.
Can I get a damage claim appraisal done remotely in Oklahoma?
Yes, many damage claim appraisals can be completed remotely using photos, documentation, and virtual consultations. For assets that require physical inspection, we can coordinate an on-site visit anywhere in Oklahoma.

- Vehicles: 3 to 5 days

- Artwork: 5 to 7 days for simple projects, 2 to 3 weeks for complex assignments

Who actually prepares the appraisal report?
Your report is prepared by a credentialed appraiser with relevant expertise in the asset type being evaluated. All appraisers in our network meet professional qualification standards and are experienced in producing reports suitable for damage claim purposes.
Are there state-specific rules in Oklahoma that affect damage claim appraisals?
Yes, Oklahoma has a structured statutory process for oil and gas surface damage claims under Section 52-318.5. When an operator and surface owner cannot agree, each party selects one appraiser, those two appraisers jointly select a third who must be a state-certified general appraiser in good standing with the Oklahoma Real Estate Appraisal Board, and all appraisers must take an oath before a notary public before beginning their work.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
You will typically need to describe the asset, explain the nature and extent of the damage, and share any supporting documentation such as photos, purchase records, prior valuations, or relevant contracts. The more detail you can provide upfront, the faster we can match you with the right appraiser.
Will an Oklahoma damage claim appraisal be accepted by insurers or courts?
Our USPAP-compliant reports are prepared to meet the standards required by insurance companies, courts, and other reviewing bodies in Oklahoma. For statutory surface damage proceedings, reports must be filed with the district court clerk, and our appraisers understand those procedural requirements.
How does the appraiser appointment process work in Oklahoma oil and gas surface damage cases?
When an operator and surface owner cannot agree on damages, the operator files a petition with the district court in the county where the drilling site is located and posts a bond with the Oklahoma Secretary of State. Each party then has 20 days to select one appraiser, and those two appraisers have 20 days to jointly select a third, or the court will step in and make the appointment if either side fails to act or the two cannot agree.
How quickly must appraisers submit their findings in an Oklahoma surface damage case?
Appraisers must file their written report with the clerk of the court within 30 days of their appointment. The report must detail the quantity, boundaries, and value of the property to be used for drilling, along with the amount of surface damages caused or anticipated.
What options do parties have after an appraisal report is filed in an Oklahoma surface damage case?
Either party can file written exceptions with the court within 30 days of the report being filed, prompting the court to confirm, reject, modify, or order a new appraisal. Alternatively, either party can demand a jury trial within 60 days of the report being filed, at which point a jury will determine the damage amount.
How are appraisers' fees divided in Oklahoma statutory surface damage appraisals?
The operator and the surface owner share appraisers' fees and court costs equally, regardless of the outcome. The court sets and determines the compensation owed to the appraisers.
