The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides estate tax appraisal services for Oregon estates, delivering USPAP-compliant valuations that substantiate fair market value as of the date of death for IRS Form 706 reporting. Oregon follows federal estate tax rules under ORS Chapter 118, and executors must support reported asset values with qualified appraisals rather than relying on county tax statements alone. Estates with natural resource holdings, business interests, or significant personal property particularly benefit from defensible, professionally documented valuations.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available through appraisal services in Oregon, so executors and estate attorneys across the state can access qualified valuations without delay. Whether assets are located in Portland, the Willamette Valley, or rural timber and agricultural regions, our appraisers are equipped to handle the full scope of an Oregon estate.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of assets commonly found in Oregon estates, including:
AppraiseItNow works with estate attorneys, personal representatives, executors, and families across Oregon who need qualified appraisals to support estate tax filings, probate proceedings, and natural resource family transfer credits. Clients range from urban Portland estates with diverse personal property and business holdings to rural estates in farming, forestry, and fishing communities throughout the state.
What Oregon clients say we are known for
Across 8 published Oregon appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, that they would hire us again, and how fast the finished report arrived.
The estate appraisal for our car and rugs was handled quickly and efficiently. The process was smooth and hassle-free.
Personal Property Appraisal for Estate Tax
AppraiseItNow was amazing! My father passed with a large volume of artwork & I had no idea what it was worth. Their team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond with text and/or email to any questions as well as a status update along the way. Highly recommend!
Artwork Appraisal for Probate
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
I recently used AppraiseItNow for a valuation of a 2001 Corvette needed for 2024 Gift Tax purposes. It was straightforward and relatively simple even for someone not too tech savvy like me!
Car Appraisal for Gift Tax
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.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
When the gross estate, counting all real, tangible, and intangible property, reaches $1,000,000 at death. Form OR-706 and any tax are due to the Oregon Department of Revenue within 12 months of the date of death, and legislation (Senate Bill 1511) raises the filing threshold for deaths in 2027 and later.
They can. Oregon's fractional formula taxes nonresident decedents on Oregon real estate and Oregon-situs tangible personal property, such as vehicles, equipment, and collectibles physically in the state, while excluding their intangible assets. Residents instead include worldwide intangibles plus Oregon tangibles in the numerator.
Every reported value needs support: fair market value as of the date of death, or six months later if alternate valuation is elected, with copies of any appraisals attached and a written explanation of the method when no appraisal was obtained. Oregon's rule calls a fee appraisal the common and best practice for most personal property without making it mandatory for every item.
The Department of Revenue can commission its own. ORS 118.535 authorizes the department to have a fee appraiser value estate property when the executor has not obtained an appraisal needed for compliance, which usually costs the estate more control over the outcome than obtaining a defensible appraisal up front.
