A group of concerned appraisers met January 2010 to discuss the BPO legislation that was flying through the State Capitol and, during that meeting, the need for a statewide appraisal organization became very evident. . We needed appraisers united, informed and on the same page when it came to state legislation. We realized we needed a grassroots network of appraisers who could explain to their local legislators the pros and cons of bills that were being considered at the Capitol. We also knew that our industry needed professional assistance in the form of a lobbyist at the State Capitol.

We also realized that a network of appraisers would be very beneficial to each other through forum discussions and educational offerings on the complex laws and regulations governing our industry.  Very Importantly, we needed a Voice here in Mississippi for the appraisal industry.

In September 2010, appraisers from around the State met again in Jackson. This time, the goal was to start the process of forming a statewide Coalition. On December 6, 2010, the group met again and The Mississippi Coalition of Appraisers (MSCAPP) was born.

Who Are We? We are Appraisers in the State of Mississippi.
