Determining the Value of a Vehicle

Vehicle value is determined by the department using the Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) calculator found on the

department’s website at If the SPV calculator does not return a value, the department will use a value

from a national reference guide. If the department is unable to determine a value, you must obtain an appraisal from a

licensed dealer or licensed insurance adjuster on a Motor Vehicle Appraisal for Tax Collector Hearing / Bonded Title (Form

VTR-125). The appraisal must be legible, include the appraiser’s business name, address, and license number; and must

have the appraiser’s original signature. Contact your local TxDMV Regional Service Center or visit our website at

for additional information.
