Divorce Appraisals in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City property preparation
Do we each need an appraiser for our Sugar House home?
Ask counsel whether there will be one engagement or separate appraisers, who may rely on each report and which date applies. Do not assume a shared engagement creates agreement, savings or faster settlement. Compare the actual parcel record and dated improvements, and provide any order that specifies date or scope.
Identify the engagement and date
Ask counsel whether the request will use one engagement or separate appraisers, who may rely on the report, and which valuation date the matter needs. If an order specifies the date or scope, provide it. One engagement does not guarantee a shared value or settlement.
This explanation does not determine legal treatment for an individual matter.
County assessment
Salt Lake County Assessor explains that its residential assessments are for property tax and use January 1 as the effective date. Note the assessment year before comparing it with your requested date.
Limit: That tax purpose and date may differ from the estate, divorce or other decision your report must support.
