AZ INS Real Estate Appraisals


On Jul. 26, AZ INS proposed amendments re real estate appraisals.


  • AZ INS issued a notice of proposed rulemaking relating to real estate appraisals.
  • Amends AZ INS 4-46-202.01 relating to designated supervisor real estate appraisers.
  • Also amends AZ INS 4-46-403, AZ INS 4-46-406 re appraisal management company.
  • Proposed Amendments
  • Seeks to grant agency discretion for awarding experience credit hours to registered trainee appraisers when designated supervisor appraiser fails to document reports.
  • AZ INS 4-46-202.01 unfairly dictates mandatory denial of experience credits to registered trainee appraiser for failure on the part of designated supervisor appraiser.
  • Amends prohibitions on registration of appraisal management company (AMC) to align with corresponding federal law and regulations, 12 USC 3353(d) and 12 CFR 34.214.
  • Federal authority prohibits registration if AMC is owned by a person who has had an appraiser license refused, denied, cancelled, surrendered or revoked by any state.
  • AZ INS 4-46-403 and AZ INS 4-46-406 existing language limit inquiry to persons with a 10% or more ownership interest which is incompatible with the federal requirement.
