standards and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, including complaints from appraisers,
individuals, financial institutions, and other entities.

documents with your complaint, as the regulator(s) will contact you if more information is needed. Please note the

applicable law or regulatory policy and could result in a regulator taking action(s) against the entity about which you
are complaining.
