Appraisals for property transfers to a corporation (Section 85)

When you transfer property to a corporation, the amount you elect is generally set within fair market value limits. An appraisal documents the value of the real estate being transferred.

How it works

These rollovers are technical, so work with your accountant on the election. We provide the fair market value of the property as of the transfer date.

What we provide

  • Fair market value of real estate moved into a corporation
  • Support for the elected amount

  • Reports for accountants and lawyers

What to send us

This page is general information, not tax or legal advice. Tax rules change and depend on your situation, so confirm with your accountant or tax lawyer. We provide the property valuation only.

Common questions

What is a Section 85 rollover?

It allows certain property to be transferred to a corporation on a tax-deferred basis if an election is filed. Your accountant can advise.

Why does the property value matter?

The elected amount generally has to fall within limits tied to fair market value, so a supportable value helps.
