How Much Does a Divorce Appraisal Cost in Long Beach in 2026?

The VA’s published fee for a single-family loan appraisal in Los Angeles County, which includes Long Beach, is $750. A divorce appraisal is a different job, and the VA figure only tells you what VA loans pay. We do not post a flat divorce-appraisal price, because the right fee depends on the house, the dates and who will read the report; we give a written scope and fee after a short call at (562) 548-5502.

That is the VA’s program fee for loan appraisals. It is not our private price, and it does not govern appraisals ordered for anything else.

What a divorce appraisal fee depends on

We give a written scope and fee for your house before work begins. The things that move it:

• The property type. Condominiums and townhomes usually stay near single-family fees unless there are unusual HOA or special-assessment questions. Duplexes and fourplexes take more work because income and additional comparables have to be reviewed.
• The extras. A back house, converted garage, historic-district details or unpermitted work call for added research.
• One date or two. A report for the date of separation and again for a current date is more work than one date.
• The readers and the testimony. If attorneys or the court need a detailed narrative, or an appraiser may be asked to testify, the fee is higher than for a plain lending appraisal. Raise testimony before work starts.
• The calendar. A hearing or settlement date that is close may mean moving other work.
