OLD BUSINESS Request to Appear Jeff Cashion and Lynn Dahnke with the North Carolina Real Estate Appraisers Association (NCREAA) submitted a request to appear before the Board to provide information and discussion regarding Senate Bill 363. Lynn Dahnke, President of the NCREAA, explained that there were certain misconceptions raised by the bill concerning an appraiser's discretion to execute an appraisal. She provided that all appraisers are ethically governed by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice which provides a code of conduct all appraisers must comply with in executing appraisals. This code also prevents appraisers from providing appraisals on types of properties they are unfamiliar or not competent to provide an appraisal for. Commissioner Dalrymple raised concerns regarding the legislation's effect on counties, and how it could allow those individuals who want to challenge their appraisal and can afford it to benefit from a private appraisal. No action was taken.
