A defined value question comes first

The intended use may concern an acquisition, assessment review, financing, an estate, a transfer, or a dispute. Identify the recipient and any written reporting instructions. An appraisal does not establish a tax deduction, determine legal ownership, authorize a use, or promise a recipient's acceptance.

If the property uses more than one address, gather the AINs and title documents. If the date is historical, explain later changes and locate the earlier leases and operating records.

Los Angeles parcel and lease preparation explains the County Assessor and City Planning records.

Contact Kevin with the property and date, or call (213) 232-7807. Ask for a written scope, fee, and delivery estimate.
