How much does a divorce appraisal cost in Birmingham?

What a divorce appraisal fee depends on

Your fee depends on the house and what the report is for, so we work it out with you by phone, and you will have it before anything is scheduled. There is no number on this page because a fee quoted before we hear about the house would be a guess.

• The house: its size, age and condition, the lot, and any additions or a second structure.
• The date: today, or a date agreed earlier in the case.
• The reader: whether the report must be written for two sides and their attorneys.
• Extras: if testimony or a hearing is wanted, it is scoped and agreed separately.

The VA's table, for reference

The VA publishes what it pays for appraisals on its home loans, and the VA appraisal fees and timeliness table lists:

Property type	VA fee, Jefferson County, Alabama
Single-family home	$700
Individual condominium	$700
Manufactured home	$750
Two- to four-unit property	$850

That is the VA's program fee, not our price, and it does not apply to a divorce. We mention it only because it is a published figure for Jefferson County.

Who pays

That is for the two of you and your attorneys to work out, sometimes split, sometimes the court's decision. To read more about it, see who pays for an appraisal in a divorce.

When you call, give the address and the date and say that it is for a divorce. A bit more on the process is on the divorce appraisal page.
