Which board is defined in relation to Florida real estate appraisal matters?

• A. Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board
• B. Florida Real Estate Commission
• C. Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation
• D. Florida Appraisal Regulatory Agency

Answer: (A)

In Florida, the body that regulates real estate appraisers is the Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board. This board is devoted to appraisal matters, handling licensing and certification of appraisers, education and experience requirements, standards of practice, and disciplinary actions when needed. It operates under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, but it is the specific board that governs appraisers rather than broader regulatory bodies.

The Florida Real Estate Commission, by contrast, oversees real estate brokers and sales associates, not appraisers, so it’s not the correct authority for appraisal matters. The other options either refer to the department as a whole or to a non-existent agency, which don’t define the regulatory framework for appraisers.
