What is the function of the Arizona Appraisal Advisory Board?

The Arizona Appraisal Advisory Board serves an important role in the framework of appraisal regulations within the state. Its primary function is to provide advice and recommendations to the Board of Appraisal, which oversees the licensing and regulation of appraisers. This advisory capacity allows the board to offer insights based on industry practices, emerging trends, and the needs of stakeholders involved in the appraisal process. By performing this function, the advisory board helps ensure that the standards and regulations in place are effective and relevant, facilitating a more robust and informed regulatory environment that benefits appraisers and the public alike.

In contrast, the responsibilities of conducting property appraisals, enforcing appraisal regulations, and managing appraiser licensing fall under other entities or boards. The advisory board does not engage directly in these activities but rather supports the regulatory processes by providing expertise and recommendations that inform decisions made by the Board of Appraisal. This collaborative effort is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of the appraisal profession in Arizona.
