This will be short and sweet! Did you ever wonder if the County Tax Assessor has access to your appraisal report conducted by an Appraiser for a Bank Loan or for an individual homeowner? Many homeowners have asked us this question.

The answer is NO! This may calm some fears about how the property will be taxed. The only way a County Tax Assessor would have access to your appraisal report would be if YOU provided one to them in the course of an APPEAL. Or by any law that would require such a disclosure, though this is rare.

The reason they do not get a copy automatically or have any online access to the appraisal is because it is strictly confidential information between the Appraiser and their Client (Bank or individual requesting an appraisal). USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) dictates this and Appraisers are legally bound to protect client confidentiality.
