Real estate appraisers can be credentialed as either certified appraisers or licensed appraisers.
Generally, state laws allow licensed appraisers to appraise most single-family homes while
only certified appraisers can appraise more valuable and complex properties. Under federal
law, only certified appraisers can conduct appraisals for home buyers seeking insurance from
the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). H.R. 2852 would change the property appraisal
requirements for mortgages insured by FHA by allowing licensed appraisers to also conduct
those appraisals. The bill also would set minimum educational requirements for appraisers
who  appraise properties being financed by an FHA insured mortgage.

Using information from FHA,  CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 2852 would have a
minimal effect on the number of people who receive FHA insurance and that any
administrative costs associated with implementing the new appraisal standards would total
less than $500,000 over the 2020-2024 period. Such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.

The CBO   staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
