2016-17 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP 2016-2017) by Appraisal Foundation
**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
USPAP contains standards for all types of appraisal services, including real estate, personal property, business and mass appraisal. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 recognizes USPAP as the generally accepted real property appraisal standards and requires USPAP compliance for appraisers in federally related transactions. Federal, state, and local agencies, appraisal services, and many professional appraisal organizations require compliance with USPAP. USPAP addresses the ethical and performance obligations of appraisers through DEFINITIONS, Rules, Standards, Standards Rules and Statements (there are currently no active Statements on Appraisal Standards).
