The part of USPAP that requires knowledge of fair housing and antidiscrimination laws is:

• A. Reliability section
• B. Nondiscrimination section of the Ethics Rule
• C. Confidentiality rule
• D. Recordkeeping rule

Answer: (B)

The Ethics Rule’s Nondiscrimination section requires appraisers to know and follow fair housing and antidiscrimination laws. This part of USPAP ensures valuation work is performed without bias and in compliance with legal protections, guiding how you treat clients and the public. Other rules focus on different aspects—Reliability is about the quality and defensibility of a judgment and report; Confidentiality covers protecting client information; Recordkeeping concerns maintaining and retaining documentation. Because the direct obligation to know and comply with fair housing and anti-discrimination laws lives in the nondiscrimination portion of the Ethics Rule, that is the part that addresses this requirement.
