Welcome back! Today we're diving into one of the most common questions homeowners ask: "What documents do I actually need for a home appraisal in Provo?" 📝

Good news—you won't need a filing cabinet full of papers! But having key documents organized can seriously impact your appraisal results. Let's break it down! 👇

📋 THE ESSENTIALS:

🏛️ Ownership Documents - Property deed and tax bills confirm you own what you're appraising. Simple but critical!

🗺️ Property Layout - Surveys, plat maps, and floor plans help appraisers understand boundaries and structure. If you're in an HOA or condo, those documents matter too!

💎 THE VALUE-BOOSTERS:

Here's where you can really shine! 🌟

🔧 Improvement Records - Created a detailed list of every upgrade: new windows, renovated bathrooms, finished basement, landscaping. Include dates, costs, and receipts. This documentation can add thousands to your appraisal!

✅ Permits & Inspections - Proof that work was done legally and safely reassures appraisers and lenders.

🏠 Maintenance History - Records for your roof, HVAC, plumbing, and foundation show the home is well-maintained.

📊 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:

💡 Utility bills (especially useful if you've upgraded to energy-efficient systems!) 🛡️ Insurance declarations 📍 Comparable sales data from your agent

Pro tip: 🎯 In Utah, appraisers follow state licensing requirements, but your lender determines specific document needs. Call ahead and ask what they prefer!
