State Appraiser Regulatory Agencies
Each U.S. State or Territory has a State appraiser regulatory
agency, which is responsible for certifying and licensing real estate
appraisers and supervising their appraisal-related activities, as required by
Federal law.
This portion of the Web site contains information about each State's agency
operations, appraiser qualifications and practice standards, interstate
practice requirements, State agency Internet links, and other information.
State statutes governing appraiser certification and licensing can be characterized in three ways:Mandatory ("Man") - Certified/licensed appraisers required for any service for which an opinion of value (evaluation or appraisal) for real property is developed;
Mandatory for Federally Related Transactions ("M/FRT") - Certified/licensed appraisers required to perform appraisals in any federally related transactions and real estate related financial transactions when Federal law requires the services of such appraisers; and
Voluntary ("Vol") - Certified/licensed appraisers not required for any appraisal/evaluation assignments. If appraisers wish to perform appraisals in such federally related transactions and real estate related transactions, appraisers can choose to become certified/licensed and submit to the State's regulatory jurisdiction.
