ANNOUNCEMENTS

EXTENSION OF 2020‐2021 USPAP

The Appraisal Standards Board has announced that the current edition of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) will be extended by one year. The effective date of the current version of USPAP is now December 31, 2022.

This will not eliminate the requirement to complete the 7‐Hour USPAP Update under Oklahoma’s current USPAP cycle of 2021‐2022. A new USPAP course is currently being written and will be released on approximately October 1, 2021. You do not need to purchase a new book.
