The Appraisal Foundation&#xAE; (the Foundation) is not an enforcement agency and does not have the authority to receive or process complaints against appraisers. To file a complaint against a real property appraiser, please visit the&#xA0;<a href="https://refermyappraisalcomplaint.asc.gov/" target="_blank" title="https://refermyappraisalcomplaint.asc.gov/">Appraisal Complaint National Hotline website</a>. If state licensed or certified real property appraisers do not employ &#x201C;recognized methods or techniques&#x201D; or do not follow the&#xA0;Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP&#xAE;), they are in violation of USPAP&#xAE;. Each state regulatory agency where an appraiser holds a license or certification is responsible for investigating complaints and taking appropriate disciplinary action against an appraiser. Filing a complaint with a state appraisal regulatory agency is highly unlikely to assist in such matters as a borrower hoping to get an appraisal revised; rather, the purpose of these complaints is to ensure a real property appraiser is complying with applicable law.
