Purpose: This form collects information about complaints of non-compliance with the appraisal independence
standards and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, including complaints from appraisers,
individuals, financial institutions, and other entities.
Complaint Process: Your complaint will be reviewed by the appropriate regulator(s). Please do not submit
documents with your complaint, as the regulator(s) will contact you if more information is needed. Please note the

example, regulator(s) considering a complaint do not have jurisdiction to directly award damages, settle fee disputes,
or act as your attorney or expert witness. A regulator’s review of your complaint will focus on potential violations of
applicable law or regulatory policy and could result in a regulator taking action(s) against the entity about which you
are complaining.
