ISSUE USPAP COMPLIANT VALUATIONS AND APPRAISALS*

*A note about USPAP - The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) are the generally accepted standards for  appraising personal property in the united states. Compliancy with USPAP is an imperative credential as there is no national license or degree for personal property appraisers. Additionally, USPAP compliancy is one of the many credentials used by the IRS to measure the acceptability of appraisals for tax purposes.
