Then the course dives into the Appraisal Subcommittee, the establishment of the Appraisal Foundation, and the role of the Appraiser Qualifications Board and Appraisal Standards Board in unison with Florida requirements for licensure and ethical appraisal practice. To wrap up this course, you will learn about the duties of the Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board, Florida appraiser classifications, laws, and rules of professional conduct.
