How long does a VA appraisal take?
There is no single nationwide turnaround that applies to every VA appraisal. VA publishes local timeliness requirements, and the actual schedule depends on assignment, property access, complexity and market workload. Tidewater, repairs or a re-inspection can extend it.
What this actually means.
VA assigns the appraisal through its system and publishes timeliness expectations by location. The clock can still move because of access, unusual property features, comparable-sale questions, Tidewater, required repairs or re-inspection. Ask the lender for the current Florida expectation for that property and contract rather than relying on a universal 7-to-14-day promise.
Where this can move.
Property condition against MPRs, repair requirements, Tidewater process, and Reconsideration of Value can change the appraised value and timeline.
