Appraisers placed on the FHA Roster will not receive a confirmation letter; however, HUD will send a denial letter to the appraiser if it determines the application to be ineligible.

How should an appraiser prepare for the FHA Appraiser Exam? - (Top)

Applicants are advised, when preparing for the exam, that FHA expects the responses to the exam questions (other than the USPAP related questions) to be a verbatim recitation of the language in the Valuation Protocol, Appendix D of Handbook 4150.2. Familiarity with USPAP is assumed due to licensing requirements.

Is there a list of approved training course providers for the FHA appraiser exam? - (Top)

HUD does not approve or disapprove specific training courses. Industry groups, professional societies and trade organizations provide FHA appraiser exam training courses. Contact the local chapter of your professional organization, if you subscribe to one, or the national organizations of appraisal sponsors. The American Society of Appraisers (ASA), Appraisal Institute (AI), National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers (NAIFA) and National Association of Master Appraisers (NAMA) are some of the industry groups offering FHA courses. All the groups have websites and the AI offers a course online.

Where do appraisers go to take the FHA appraiser exam? - (Top)

The new exam is on page 3 of Form HUD-92563. The answers to the exam questions (other than those related to USPAP) are specifically stated in the Valuation Protocol, Appendix D of Handbook 4150.2. FHA expects the responses to the exam questions to be a verbatim recitation of the language in the Valuation Protocol. Familiarity with USPAP is assumed due to licensing requirements.

How can an appraiser find out which components of the FHA appraiser exam showed his/her strengths and weaknesses? -(Top)

The FHA does not publish exam scores. Appraisers can only determine if he/she passed or failed the exam.

How many times can an applicant take the FHA appraiser exam to get on the roster? -(Top)

At this time, appraisers must pass the exam once. There is no limit to the number of times an appraiser may take the exam to pass.

FHA appraiser roster status -(Top)

HUD maintains a roster of appraisers who have satisfied certification requirements to perform FHA appraisals (see eligibility and placement process above). Lenders underwriting FHA loans may only accept appraisals from an appraiser on the FHA roster. Appraisers can check their roster status by visiting https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/apprlook.cfm. FHA appraisers who believe their roster status is incorrect should fax the corrected information to (202) 401-0416.

What is the procedure for appraisers on the FHA appraiser roster for notifying HUD of state license or certification renewal? - (Top)
