NOTICE TO ALL APPRAISERS

The North Carolina Appraisal Board (Board) is aware of an appraisal management company operating in the state of North Carolina without first obtaining registration. As of today, Tamarisk Appraisals remains an unregistered appraisal management company. The Board has been in communications with Tamarisk Appraisals to halt all appraisal management services in North Carolina until such time as they are able to obtain a valid, active registration. Until Tamarisk Appraisals obtains registration as an Appraisal Management Company in North Carolina, which can be verified at: https://ncappraisalboard.org/directory/FindAMC.htm, appraisers are encouraged to contact the Board office upon any panel solicitations, order requests, or other appraisal management service request from Tamarisk Appraisals.

The North Carolina Appraisal Board believes that the appraisal profession should reflect the diversity of our State. To further this mission, the Board is dedicated to expanding diversity and inclusivity in the profession by removing barriers that limit the opportunities of any qualified individual to become an appraiser.
