Why is there an appraiser at my house?

County appraisers may come by to determine the value of your property. Learn more about why an appraiser might visit and what to do if one does.

Appraisers might visit your property to

  • verify the terms and conditions of a recent sale
  • verify and/or update the property characteristics
  • appraise new construction
  • appraise remodels and additions
  • appraise property for removal of exemptions or adjudications from prior appeals.

This is not an all-inclusive list. Appraisers may visit the property for other reasons.

Generally, appraisers will leave a business card on the front door. If you have received a business card, contact the appraiser directly at the mobile number or email address listed on the card with questions regarding their visit.

For information about a specific property, please contact our customer service department by live chat, phone (503) 988-0078 or by email at residentialcustomerservice@multco.us. Have your account number or property ID available. To learn about how your taxes are calculated, visit Property Tax Information.
