The Agency and Its Purpose


The Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board was created by the 1991 Oregon Legislative Assembly to implement Title XI of the Federal Act in Oregon.

(1)

Its purpose is to represent the broad public interest while it implements its functions to license, supervise and regulate appraisers in Oregon, and to develop and establish appraisal education and experience standards.

(2)

The Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board is a regulatory agency. Board members shall avoid conflicts of interest in implementing appraiser certification and supervision functions. The Board is to provide adequate safeguards to ensure that the appraisal regulatory function is insulated from the influence of any industry or organization whose members have a direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the Board’s decisions. The regulatory functions of the Board are independent of other realty related regulatory agencies.
