The Appraisal Valuation and Support Office is the sole client, and all technical questions must be directed to them. Appraisers must disclose any prior involvement with the subject property within the last three years. If a contract is awarded, performance must be completed within 60 days of award, with initial review targeting completion in under 30 days and revisions required within 10 days.
