UAD 3.6 Mandate for Appraisal Reports Takes Effect

Starting November 2, 2026, all new appraisal reports must use UAD 3.6, with existing UAD 2.6 submissions receiving fatal errors. The change aims to standardize appraisal reporting but requires lenders to ensure end-to-end readiness and manage the transition carefully.

Why it matters. Lenders must adapt their systems and processes to comply with the new mandate, affecting their operational efficiency and data consistency.
