A written opinion of what one San Bernardino house, condo, small multi-family building or manufactured home is worth, for a decision that is yours: pricing a sale, a buyout, a property tax assessment appeal, mortgage insurance or a refinance.

What Kinds of San Bernardino Property We Appraise
Houses and attached homes
Single-family detached houses, plus townhomes, condominiums and other attached homes.
Two to four units
Duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.
Manufactured homes and lots
Manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and vacant residential lots. If the home sits in a mobile home park, describe the setup when you call so the scope can be confirmed.
The City of San Bernardino's 2021-2029 Housing Element describes a stock that is mostly single-family, about 63 percent of all units. Multi-family is about 31 percent, and the city has 46 mobile home parks with more than 4,000 units, about 6 percent of the total. At least half of the housing stock is 50 years old or older, so condition and updates matter as much as size.
Why People Order One
Pricing a sale
A documented value to set an asking price and negotiate from, or a neutral starting point when you sell without an agent.
Property tax appeal
The Clerk of the Board lists a 2026 regular filing period of July 2 to November 30, 2026. See the section below.
Mortgage insurance or refinance
For private mortgage insurance, ask your lender what it accepts before you order. For a refinance, a sense of your loan-to-value ratio before you apply.
- Insurance review
- Donating property
- Relocation
- Divorce, estates and probate
For insurance, we give a market value opinion; replacement cost is a different measure, so ask your insurer which one it needs. For a donation, share the recipient's and your tax adviser's requirements with your request. Employer relocation programs set their own appraisal requirements. For divorce, estates and probate, see our divorce, estate and probate pages.
Appealing Your Property Tax Assessment
The San Bernardino County Assessor encourages an informal review first. If that does not settle it, an Assessment Appeal Application is filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, which lists the 2026 regular filing period as July 2 to November 30, 2026 (Assessor: assessment appeals; Clerk of the Board).
A lien-date appeal, in the Board of Equalization's terms, is about the roll value as of January 1 (BOE appeal FAQs). That makes the appraisal a look back to that date. Confirm the filing requirements with the Clerk of the Board.
Filing window
July 2 to November 30, 2026. If you are weighing an appeal, call early so the effective date and inspection can be arranged before you file.

From Request to Report
- Request. Phone 442-255-7778, or send the address, the type and rough size of the home, and the purpose through our contact form. We confirm the scope with a written fee and delivery estimate.
- Scheduling. We agree on an inspection time and who will provide access.
- Inspection. The appraiser measures and photographs the home inside and out and notes its condition and features.
- Research and report. Comparable sales are selected and adjusted, and the report is prepared under the agreed scope.
- Delivery. Share your deadline at the start so the delivery date can be confirmed before you rely on it.
What a Residential Appraisal Costs
Ask for a written scope, fee and delivery estimate. The home's size and complexity, the purpose, any past effective date and your deadline all shape the fee. Legal and tax assignments, such as divorce, estate and IRS step-up reports, can involve more research and reporting.
