  • 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

  • AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.

    Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation

  • Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!

    Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing

  • They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions on New Hampshire Equipment Appraisers

What information drives a machinery appraisal in New Hampshire?

Asset-level detail: make, model, serial number, year, capacity, configuration, purchase date and cost, condition, maintenance history, and remaining economic life. Credible market and cost analyses depend on accurate specifications and condition ratings, because the adjustments for wear and obsolescence flow directly from them. Thin documentation weakens the value conclusion.

Do New Hampshire towns require an inventory of taxable property?

In municipalities that adopt the requirement, yes. Form PA-28, the Inventory of Taxable Property, must be filed with municipal assessing officials by April 15 under RSA 74:7, and it can cover certain categories of taxable personal property. Late filing or non-filing can affect how the municipality proceeds with assessment.

Is the income approach ever used for equipment?

Selectively. For an individual machine, the market and cost approaches are generally more appropriate, but the income approach is conceptually applied to combined asset groups such as production lines where an identifiable income stream attaches to the whole set. We select the approach that fits how the equipment actually generates value.

Is business machinery taxed as personal property in New Hampshire?

Generally no. New Hampshire is among the states with no general tangible personal property tax, so machinery, equipment, and fixtures avoid the annual assessments common elsewhere; utility property is the exception, taxed at the state level under RSA 83-F. Equipment values in New Hampshire matter instead for lending, insurance, estates, transactions, and litigation.

When does heavy equipment need a title in New Hampshire?

Truck-tractors are titled once gross weight exceeds 18,000 pounds, which sweeps much road-going heavy equipment such as Peterbilt, Mack, Kenworth, and Freightliner units into the state title system. A title anchors identity and ownership for those assets, while off-road machines rely on serial numbers, purchase records, and maintenance files for appraisal documentation.
