Background

On April 3, 2009, the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) approved and adopted modifications to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). This action was the culmination of a 15-month joint ASB/AQB campaign that asked appraisers, users of appraisal services, regulators, educators, and others how well USPAP and USPAP education were serving their needs. This was
accomplished with a series of public documents and public meetings. Written comments were received from almost 2,000 individuals, and oral comments were provided at public meetings. The ASB considered every comment, developed a work plan to address the issues brought forward, and received public comment on a proposed work plan. The work plan included changes for the 2010-11 edition of
USPAP, as well as additional changes (such as those involving the issue of reporting) for the 2012-13 edition of USPAP.

2010-2011 Changes

The changes to USPAP that were adopted by the ASB were the result of three exposure drafts, issued on October 3, 2008, December 10, 2008, and February 10, 2009. These changes will be incorporated in the 2010-11 edition of USPAP and associated guidance material with an effective date of January 1, 2010. The Exposure Drafts proposed changes to the following areas of USPAP:

•    Definition of “Signature”
•    Definition of “Jurisdictional Exception”
•    Definition of “Assignment”
•    The ETHICS RULE
•    The COMPETENCY RULE
•    The JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTION RULE
•    STANDARD 3, Appraisal Review, Development and Reporting

Appraiser Trainee

The first step to become a real property appraiser is to become an Appraiser Trainee.  In North Carolina (NC) the participant will take a total of 90 classroom hours, of which the first two courses must be taken in order.  The remaining two classes can be taken in any order and when the participant can find the classes offered.  Once the participant successfully passes the courses they can fill out the application form (http://ncappraisalboard.org/forms/ApplicationForLicensure.pdf) provided by the North Carolina Appraisal Board (NCAB).  Once the application is filled out following the board’s guidelines and accompanied by a check for the required amount, the participant can mail “the package” to the board for approval.  When approved the board will mail the participant with a card indicating they have been approved to take the NC trainee’s test.  Once this test is scheduled and passed the trainee may begin working for a board approved supervisory appraiser.  The type of work the trainee may perform is any type assignments his/her supervisory appraiser is permitted to appraise.[1]
