Need a property appraised in Tennessee? Pick your county below to see licensed appraisers who work there, with their credentials, license status, and contact details.

For a house, condo, or small rental of up to four units, a Certified Residential or Licensed Residential appraiser is the usual choice. Licensed Residential appraisers are limited to simpler homes under $1 million, so go with Certified Residential for anything larger or unusual. Commercial buildings, non-residential land, and properties with five or more units need a Certified General appraiser. Whoever you hire, make sure their license is active in Tennessee before they start.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a real estate appraiser in Tennessee?

Start with your county. This page links to 85 Tennessee counties with listed appraisers, and each county page shows who works there along with their credentials and contact details. Contact two or three, tell them the property type and address, and ask about their fee and turnaround time.

How do I check an appraiser's license in Tennessee?

Every appraiser listed here shows their Tennessee license number, credential level, status, and expiration date, taken from the national appraiser registry kept by the federal Appraisal Subcommittee and refreshed monthly. Check that the status says Active and the expiration date falls after your appraisal date.

Are there commercial appraisers in Tennessee?

Yes. 1,086 appraisers in Tennessee hold the Certified General credential, which is required for commercial buildings, non-residential land, and properties with five or more units. Look for "Certified General" on the profile before you hire.

Can an appraiser licensed in another state appraise property in Tennessee?

Only if they're also licensed in Tennessee or get a temporary practice permit from Tennessee's appraiser board for that assignment. Many appraisers near state lines hold licenses in more than one state, and their profiles here list every state they're licensed in.
