Coverage & fees

Scopes: fees:read (and products:read to populate dropdowns).

Fee schedules and coverage in Appraiser Flow are per appraiser. The Public API resolves a firm-facing preview as follows (see spec §6.1):

  1. If the tenant set a Default fee appraiser in Integrations → Public API, that appraiser’s coverage and schedule are used (fee_basis: "default_appraiser").
  2. Otherwise, among active appraisers who cover the county, the API returns the lowest fee (fee_basis: "lowest_covering").
  3. If nobody covers the area → 422 / coverage_unavailable.
  4. If covered but no fee row exists → covered: true with fee / turnaround_days null (office completes in-app). Do not invent a number on your site.

Compliance

This preview is a commercial offer shape: fee and turnaround only.
It is not an appraisal, opinion of value, or AVM. Do not label it as a value estimate on your site.
