Appraiser Reassignment Help

- -
 Information by State
 Print version
 

Appraiser Reassignment allows a lender to override the initial appraiser assignment. An appraiser may only be assigned to a case if the appraiser is licensed in the state where the property is located. For a lender to reassign an appraiser, the lender must know the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) case number and the current and new appraisers' IDs.

An appraiser may be reassigned to a case for a variety of reasons including: 1) the current appraiser is on leave; vacation or medical, 2) the current appraiser has too many case numbers or, 3) location convenience.
