STANDARD 6, Mass Appraisal, applies to:

Standard 6 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) addresses mass appraisal, which is a systematic approach to valuing multiple properties simultaneously. The scope of this standard encompasses both real property and personal property. Mass appraisal techniques are utilized to evaluate a wide range of properties efficiently, whether they are residential homes, commercial buildings, or personal property items such as vehicles.

The inclusivity of both real and personal property in this standard is significant for enhancing uniformity and consistency in appraisal practices, allowing appraisers to apply their valuation expertise across various types of assets. This broad application supports the needs of different stakeholders, including municipalities, governmental entities, and individual property owners seeking equitable assessments.

Understanding this approach is essential for appraisers who may be required to conduct mass appraisals in various contexts, ensuring they follow the appropriate standards for both types of property.
