Government Extends Paperwork Requirements for Home Appraisal Companies

## Summary

The Federal Housing Finance Agency wants to keep collecting info from Appraisal Management Companies for three more years and is asking the public to share their thoughts by March 17, 2025. This affects companies that manage home appraisals and helps make sure rules stay clear and fair. No new costs or big changes are planned—just a smooth extension of current rules.

## Abstract

In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA or the Agency) is seeking public comments concerning an information collection called the "Minimum Requirements for Appraisal Management Companies," which has been assigned control number 2590-0013 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). FHFA intends to submit the information collection to OMB for review and approval of a three-year extension of the control number, which is due to expire on March 31, 2025.

IC #2 (state recordkeeping) notes 5 states without AMC programs with FHFA’s share…
- Who Counts as an Appraisal Management Company: cost, medium.
