DESCRIPTION

Appraisal Review is one of the most misunderstood Appraisal Standards!

Can I perform an appraisal review a BPO?  DO I need geographic competency to perform an out of state appraisal review?  Does an appraisal review require me to agree or disagree with value?  The answer to these questions is NO.

We will review and explore USPAP and gain a detailed understanding about appraisal review.

The class will focus on practical applications you face on many typical and atypical review assignments.  You may be surprised at what is appraisal review myth versus fact!

DID YOU KNOW? In June 2016, the City of Chattanooga adopted new zoning for all of the downtown, including the North Shore, Southside and MLK areas.  This new zoning impacted almost 3,000 properties.  The new Form-Based Code (FBC) is different from the old, conventional zoning in that it places more emphasis on the physical form of buildings and creates more flexibility for the uses that take place inside the buildings. You do not want to miss this information-packed session covering:

• Why we needed a Form-Based Code
• How the FBC is organized
• Basic standards contained in the FBC
• Review and Approval process

Lunch will be provided for this FREE informational session. Please RSVP using the link below.
