State Appraiser Regulatory Agency Resources

The Appraisal Foundation (Foundation) maintains a close relationship with state appraiser regulatory agencies and seeks their input on proposed changes to the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.  Additionally, the Foundation provides resources to the states to clarify and help implement the minimum qualifications and standards. 

The Foundation has also re-instituted the State Regulatory Advisory Group. More information can be found here.
