More providers can offer property evaluations

North Dakota recognizes property value evaluations for federally or state-regulated financial entities when federal law does not require an appraisal. Apprentice, licensed, and certified appraisers can provide evaluations when laws, regulations, or regulator guidance allow. They must follow applicable federal and state rules, including federal Title XI requirements. Their work must be clearly labeled as an evaluation, not an appraisal. People who are not apprentice, licensed, or certified appraisers are exempt from the state appraisal chapter’s requirements when providing evaluations.
