Answer: The appraised value of your property is the value when the appraisal was made. Your property may have lost value since your last appraisal as a result of poor maintenance or depreciation.

If your house or belongings are damaged, your insurance company must pay your property's actual cash value at the time of the loss or its replacement value if your policy provides replacement cost coverage.
