ADVISORY OPINIONS
Appraisal reports for real and personal property must contain a signed certification indicating whether the appraiser has or has not personally inspected the subject property. All appraisal reports must also contain sufficient information to enable the intended users to understand the extent of the inspection that was performed.
Because of the infinite variability of inspections, it is important that the appraisal report clearly communicates the degree of the inspection in order for the report to be meaningful.(note4)
