The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides insurance coverage appraisals throughout North Carolina, helping individuals and businesses establish accurate insurable values before a loss occurs. North Carolina's insurance statutes, including G.S. 58-44-16, govern how appraisals are used to resolve disputes over actual cash value and loss amounts, making documented pre-loss valuations especially valuable. Whether you are scheduling a new policy rider or updating coverage after acquiring assets, a USPAP-compliant appraisal ensures your policy limits reflect true replacement or actual cash value.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available through appraisers in North Carolina, giving clients across the state flexible access to professional valuations. Onsite inspections can be arranged in Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington, and surrounding communities.
AppraiseItNow covers the major asset classes that require documented insurable value for coverage purposes in North Carolina, including:
AppraiseItNow serves homeowners, collectors, manufacturers, marine enthusiasts, and business owners across North Carolina who need accurate, insurer-accepted valuations for scheduled riders, new policies, or coverage updates. From life sciences companies in the Research Triangle to coastal boat owners in Wilmington, our appraisals support clients with diverse asset portfolios statewide.
What North Carolina clients say we are known for
Across 17 published North Carolina 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.
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow's service was expeditious and professional. The report was thorough with plenty of examples and rationale for the valuations. Good service comes at a cost, but for me it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
Personal Property Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
We recently used AppraiseItNow for one of our clients and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The customer service was excellent, and Joe was quick to respond to all of our questions. He provided everything we needed promptly and made the process smooth from start to finish. Thank you!

Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
For county tax appraisals, G.S. 105-317.1 codifies nine: replacement cost, sale prices of similar property, age, physical condition, productivity, remaining life, obsolescence, economic utility, and any other factor affecting value. North Carolina is one of the few states to spell out a statutory checklist, and the same disciplines translate directly into insurance documentation.
Each January. Values are set as of January 1 under the Machinery Act, and owners must list taxable personal property with the county assessor during the January listing period, generally through January 31, with penalties for late listing. Personal property is appraised annually, unlike real property's multi-year reappraisal cycle.
Generally no. Non-business personal property, including household furnishings, clothing, pets, and lawn equipment, is excluded from county listing. Without a tax record, an insurance appraisal is usually the only formal documentation of your contents' value, which is exactly what carriers want when scheduling items.
Within 30 days of the initial notice of value. If you and the assessor do not agree, a further 30-day window runs from the assessor's final decision to reach the board of equalization and review or the county commissioners. Independent valuation evidence assembled early makes both windows workable.
