What Is a 1031 Exchange Appraisal?

A 1031 exchange appraisal determines the fair market value of a commercial property involved in a like-kind exchange under IRS Section 1031. This appraisal is essential for validating the property’s value to ensure compliance with IRS rules governing tax-deferred real estate transactions.

By accurately documenting property value, the appraisal supports tax deferral eligibility and helps investors maximize equity while deferring capital gains tax on the sale of commercial property.
