History of UTCAP
The Utah Coalition of Appraisal Professionals (UTCAP) began under the name
United Appraisers of Utah, and was formed in 2009.
The recently introduced HVCC (home valuation code of conduct) legislation
and other changes imposed onto the residential
valuation industry, created a need for an unified voice for Appraisers.
Since 2009 coalition board members, as well as many general members,
have attended most every meeting of the Utah Division
of Real Estate appraisal board meetings, one of the most important and
influential meetings held in Utah to discuss the appraisal
industry. UTCAP has been given tasks and opportunities to serve and give
meaningful input to the Division of Real Estate appraisal
board
