Billing tips for appraisers
- Reference the property address, effective date and report file number on the invoice — lenders and AMCs match payments to files, not to your name.
- Bill complexity adjustments (acreage, multi-unit, unique construction) as named lines quoted upfront; discovering complexity after acceptance is how flat fees turn into free work.
- For litigation and estate work, invoice time for testimony and depositions separately from the report fee — the report has a price, your day in court has an hourly rate.
Appraiser invoicing FAQ
What should a appraiser invoice include?
A appraiser invoice commonly includes your business and client details, an invoice number, issue and due dates, itemized services, applicable tax or discounts, the amount due and agreed payment terms. This template provides fields for those basics, but local and client-specific requirements can vary.
Can I change the sample line items in the appraiser template?
Yes. The pre-filled line items are editable starter examples for appraisers. Change the descriptions, quantities and rates, add or remove rows, and the totals recalculate automatically.
When should appraisers send an invoice — before or after the work?
It depends on the agreement. You can invoice on delivery, at agreed milestones or on a recurring schedule. For a larger or new-client project, a deposit and balance schedule can be agreed in writing before work starts.
Do appraisers need to charge tax on invoices?
That depends on where you are registered, what you sell and the rules that apply to you. If tax applies, enter the appropriate rate so it appears separately in the totals. If you are unsure, check official local guidance or ask a qualified adviser; the template supports both taxed and tax-free invoices.
What can I do if a client doesn't pay my appraiser invoice on time?
Start with a polite reminder that includes the invoice and asks when payment is expected. If it remains unpaid, follow the escalation steps, late-fee terms and remedies already agreed in your contract, while checking any rules that apply in your location.
