How much does a home appraisal cost in Cincinnati?

Source: the VA appraisal fees and timeliness table, effective May 1, 2026, which lists Hamilton County in the Ohio group with Cuyahoga, Franklin, Greene, Montgomery and Summit counties. The same table allows 7 business days for those appraisals.

The VA figure applies to appraisals on VA-backed home loans. It does not set the price of a private appraisal for an estate, a divorce, a sale or a tax appeal, and older web pages that mix the two can be confusing. Fee tables also change, so check the date on any table you see.

We quote each private assignment in writing before work begins. A useful quote names:

• the property and the property type;
• the intended use and who may rely on the report;
• the effective date the value should describe;
• the report type, and whether testimony or extra support is included;
• the delivery estimate and any deadline you have;
• the fee, and what would change it.

Size, property type, condition, how much comparable data exists and how soon you need the report all play a part. We go through them in what factors influence appraisal costs in Cincinnati.
