For Government

Do you need to know the real value of public property?

Municipal, provincial and federal government agencies count on AIC-designated appraisers for professional, comprehensive and independent opinions of the value of public properties. In fact, many AIC Members work within the public sector to advise various levels of government on real property decisions.

What professional standards do AIC-designated appraisers follow?
