What are appraisers' professional standards?

All state licensed and certified appraisers must adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). A copy of the current USPAP can be found on the Appraisal Foundation Website. Go to the Appraisal Standards Board section "Standards", then click on USPAP. The Appraisal Foundation is a national nonprofit organization that determines USPAP and educational requirements for state licensed and certified appraisers. Members of appraisal professional organizations, whether or not they are licensed or certified, are required to adhere to USPAP.

The 2020-2021 USPAP has been extended to include 2022. This brings the guidelines inline with the bi-annual renewal of appraisers licenses.
