The Dodd-Frank Act requires that Appraisal Management Companies be licensed in all 50 states by January 1, 2015. 38 states have passed licensing laws of which 33 are already being issued and 5 will start issuing AMC licenses by July 1, 2014. That leaves 12 states that must pass legislation and start issuing AMC licenses by January 1, 2014. Thomas Law Firm can help you get all your Appraisal Management Company licenses in place.
