AppraiseItNow appraises household contents, collections, vehicles, and business interests for Utah probate inventories, due within three months of the personal representative's appointment with each item at fair market value as of the date of death. We also value the equipment Utah businesses report to their county assessor, where a total of $30,100 or less per county is exempt in 2026 and the exemption claim can be audited. Utah collects no estate or inheritance tax of its own, so the same date-of-death values serve Form 706 if the estate is large enough and the heirs' cost basis if it is not. For divorce we value boats, art, jewelry, and closely held companies; for donated inventory we prepare the report Form 8283 requires.
Most reports are completed online from photographs and documents you upload; onsite inspection is available statewide for full-house estates, large equipment sets, and collections where condition drives value. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins, and if a probate deadline, an assessor's notice, or a court date is set, we confirm up front whether we can meet it. We do not appraise real estate; for a home, ranch, or commercial building we refer you to a state-licensed real estate appraiser.

What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and 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.
AppraiseItNow was fabulous. While they weren’t able to negotiate a higher payout from the insurance company for my totaled car, they fully honored their guarantee and had the money back in my account within days. It’s rare to see a company truly stand behind its product and guarantee. Well done, AppraiseItNow team!
Auto Appraisal for Insurance Claim
The AppraiseItNow team was great to work with. We hired them to appraise some precious metals for a charitable donation, and they were very helpful throughout the process. They provided clear instructions on how to submit photos and item descriptions, and delivered the appraisal and IRS forms within just a few days. Thank you so much, highly recommended!
Bullion Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!
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!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
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
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.

The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsNot as a rule. The inventory must state a fair market value for each item, and Utah Code 75-3-706 lets the personal representative employ a qualified, disinterested appraiser for any asset whose value is in reasonable doubt, naming that appraiser on the inventory. Ordinary furnishings rarely need one; art, jewelry, firearms, equipment, and business interests usually do, because those are the values heirs and the court question.
By completing the exemption section of the Signed Statement of Personal Property Tax Notice your county assessor sends, within 60 days of that notice. The exemption applies when the total fair market value of your taxable personal property in the county is $30,100 or less for 2026, and the assessor can audit the claim, so the values on the statement need support.
