About appraisal licensing in Florida
Home appraisers in Florida are regulated by the Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board (FREAB) under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Florida's residential tier is Certified Residential (1-4 unit homes); Certified General appraisers may value any real property, including commercial. One important Florida distinction: the county 'Property Appraiser' is the elected tax-assessment office, not a private appraiser. To get a market-value appraisal of your home, you hire a state-licensed home appraiser like the ones listed here, and you can verify any license on the DBPR lookup.
