The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional construction equipment appraisal services throughout Texas, supporting clients across a wide range of purposes including charitable donations, lending and financing, mergers and acquisitions, and financial reporting. Texas is home to one of the most active construction markets in the country, driven by ongoing infrastructure development, oil and gas operations in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast, and rapid urban growth in cities like Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. Whether you need a valuation for a bank loan, a corporate transaction, or IRS-compliant donation documentation, our credentialed appraisers deliver accurate, well-supported reports that meet the standards required by lenders, regulators, and tax authorities.
Our appraisers serve clients across Texas with both remote and onsite inspection options, making it easy to get a qualified valuation regardless of where your equipment is located, from urban job sites to remote oilfield operations. For straightforward assets with sufficient documentation, a desktop appraisal can be completed efficiently without an in-person visit, while complex or high-value equipment may warrant a physical inspection. As part of our broader equipment and machinery appraisal practice, we offer Fair Market Value (FMV), Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), Forced Liquidation Value (FLV), and Replacement Value appraisals for various intended uses.
Our appraisers evaluate a comprehensive range of construction equipment used across Texas industries, including heavy civil, commercial building, energy infrastructure, and site development. Equipment types we commonly appraise include:
We also appraise specialized equipment tied to Texas's energy sector, including oilfield construction machinery, pipeline equipment, and heavy haul transport assets. Whether you have a single piece of equipment or an entire fleet, our appraisers have the expertise to deliver accurate, well-documented valuations that hold up to scrutiny from lenders, auditors, and the IRS.
We serve a broad range of clients across Texas, including construction contractors, equipment dealers, fleet owners, banks and lenders, private equity firms, nonprofit organizations, and corporate finance teams. Whether you are managing a large equipment portfolio or need a single-asset appraisal for a specific transaction or compliance requirement, AppraiseItNow has the expertise and capacity to meet your needs efficiently and accurately.
What Texas clients say we are known for
Across 16 published Texas 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 quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
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 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.

Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Orderly liquidation value assumes a reasonable time to find buyers, while forced liquidation value assumes a quick sale, often at auction, and both sit below fair market value in marketing time and expected realization. Texas lenders and workout teams routinely specify which premise they need, and the spread between them can be large.
Because book value and tax depreciation follow historical cost and standardized schedules, not the market. Condition, obsolescence, and secondary-market demand drive what a dozer or excavator actually sells for, and market-based appraisals routinely reveal large gaps in either direction.
Income-producing tangible personal property must be rendered annually, after January 1 and no later than April 15, with an automatic extension to May 15 available on written request. Taxable property is appraised at 100 percent of market value as of January 1.
Yes. Tax Code Section 22.07 lets the chief appraiser inspect business personal property to confirm existence and market value, and request a written statement supporting the rendered value, which you must provide within 21 days. Well-documented appraisal support makes that response straightforward.
