What Colorado clients say we are known for
Across 16 published Colorado 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.
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.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
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 needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
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.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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:
Auction and listing platforms such as BidSpotter, MachineryTrader, and IronPlanet supply market comparables, while manufacturer quotes and cost guides like Marshall Valuation Service support the cost approach. Our appraisers select sources based on the asset, then reconcile the indications into one supportable conclusion.
Three distinct kinds: physical wear, functional obsolescence from technology or capacity mismatches, and economic obsolescence from outside market forces. A simple age-based schedule captures none of that nuance, which is why appraised values often differ sharply from formula-driven estimates.
Yes, if your taxable personal property in the county exceeds the state threshold, commonly around $52,000 in total actual value. The Personal Property Declaration Schedule, typically form DS 056, is due by April 15 and requires each asset's original installed cost and acquisition year, with property valued in use as of January 1.
Movable or portable equipment used in more than one county during the year is apportioned among those counties under C.R.S. section 39-5-113 rather than taxed fully in a single jurisdiction. Self-propelled construction equipment is different again: as Class F Special Mobile Machinery it pays specific ownership tax through registration instead of ordinary ad valorem tax.
Yes. Agricultural machinery and equipment used in production on a Colorado farm or ranch is exempt from property tax, and since January 1, 2023 the exemption extends to equipment used in controlled environment agriculture facilities and greenhouses. Equipment used outside qualifying agricultural production remains taxable and must still be declared.
