How Property Insurance
Appraisal Works

The appraisal clause is a structured, binding dispute resolution mechanism in most property insurance policies — faster and less expensive than litigation.

01

Appraisal Is Invoked

Either the policyholder or the insurer formally demands appraisal when there is a disagreement on the value of a covered property loss.

02

Appraisers Appointed

Both the insurer and the policyholder select a competent, independent property insurance appraiser to assess the loss on their behalf.

03

Independent Assessment

Each appraiser conducts a thorough, fact-based evaluation of the property damage using professional standards and estimating methodology.

04

Binding Resolution

If the appraisers agree, the amount is final. If not, a neutral umpire reviews both positions and renders a binding decision.
