24 C.F.R. § 200.202
§ 200.202 How do I apply for placement on the Appraiser Roster? (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
(a) Application. To apply for placement on the Appraiser Roster, you must submit an application to HUD. (b) Eligibility. To be eligible for placement on the Appraiser Roster: (1) You must be a state-certified appraiser with credentials that complied with the applicable certification criteria established by the Appraiser Qualification Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation and in effect at the time the certification was awarded by the issuing jurisdiction; and (2) You must not be listed on: (i) The General Services Administration's Suspension and Debarment List; (ii) HUD's Limited Denial of Participation List; or (iii) HUD's Credit Alert Verification Reporting System.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.202, placement on HUD's Appraiser Roster requires both a formal application submitted to HUD and the satisfaction of specific eligibility criteria. An applicant must hold a state-issued appraiser certification that met the Appraiser Qualification Board's standards at the time it was granted. Additionally, the rule bars anyone currently listed on certain federal exclusion or alert systems — including the GSA's Suspension and Debarment List, HUD's Limited Denial of Participation List, or HUD's Credit Alert Verification Reporting System — from qualifying for roster placement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who rely on FHA-related appraisals should be aware that, under § 200.202, only appraisers who have successfully applied to and been placed on HUD's Appraiser Roster are eligible to perform those appraisals. Compliant operators generally verify that any appraiser they engage holds a valid state certification meeting AQB standards and is not flagged on federal exclusion lists before engaging their services. Maintaining documentation of an appraiser's roster status at the time of engagement is a practice commonly associated with smooth FHA transaction processing.

For tenants involved in FHA-financed housing transactions, § 200.202 establishes that appraisers used in those transactions must meet federal eligibility standards, including state certification aligned with AQB criteria and the absence of any federal debarment or exclusion flags. If a tenant has concerns about whether a proper appraisal was conducted using a qualified roster appraiser, they may raise that concern with HUD directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with FHA processes. Reviewing HUD's publicly available resources or reaching out to a housing counseling agency approved by HUD can help clarify what recourse may be available.
