FAQ
What is the VA appraisal fee schedule?
It’s the VA’s published maximum allowed appraisal fees and timeliness targets, organized by state and sometimes by county group or high-demand areas.
Are VA appraisal fees the same in every state?
No. Caps vary by state, and some counties fall under special county-group or high-demand caps.
What’s the difference between statewide, county group, and high demand?
Statewide applies to most counties. County-group and high-demand rows apply only to the listed counties and can change the cap and/or timeliness.
Do condo, manufactured, and 2–4 unit properties have different caps?
Often, yes. The VA schedule lists separate maximums by appraisal form/property type.
When does the timeliness clock start?
Timeliness is measured in business days and generally starts the first business day after the appraisal is assigned.
Can the VA appraisal fee exceed the cap?
The schedule lists maximum allowed fees. If a charge exceeds the cap, it typically must be corrected by the lender/appraisal process.
Are re-inspections included in the base appraisal fee?
No. Re-inspections are typically handled as a separate allowed fee under VA rules rather than included in the base cap.
Is there an extra fee for new construction?
VA guidance commonly allows a small additional amount for proposed/under-construction properties beyond the base appraisal cap.
What if my county isn’t listed in a county group?
If your county isn’t in a listed group, the statewide row generally applies (unless another special row is listed for your area).
Where can I verify the current caps?
Use the official VA appraisal fee schedule page and the Regional Loan Center (RLC) PDFs linked below in Sources.
