EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

2026 APPRAISER RENEWAL REQUIREMENT

All registered trainees and licensed and certified appraisers must complete the 2026- 2027 7-Hour National USPAP Continuing Education course by May 31, 2026. The new course is available now and requires each student to have a copy of the 2024 USPAP book, the 2026-2027 7-Hour National USPAP Student Manual and the 2026-2027 USPAP Reference Manual. Since there is not a new edition of the USPAP book, the Board is not offering books at a discounted rate. Please check with your course provider to see if the required materials will be provided with the class or if they need to be acquired in advance from The Appraisal Foundation.
