When an assignment involves a jurisdictional exception, what must the appraiser do?

When an assignment involves a jurisdictional exception, the appraiser must identify the law causing the exception. This step is crucial because jurisdictional exceptions arise from specific legal requirements or regulations that may affect how an appraisal is conducted or the standards that must be adhered to within a particular jurisdiction. By recognizing the applicable law, the appraiser can adjust their methodology and approach to align with legal mandates while still fulfilling their responsibilities to provide an accurate and fair appraisal.

Understanding the pertinent laws enables the appraiser to navigate the complexities that may arise from these exceptions, ensuring that their work remains compliant and valid in the context of the local legal framework. This knowledge provides the foundation for maintaining the integrity of the appraisal process in situations where typical appraisal standards may not apply.
