Accelerating Appraisals and Conservation Efforts Act or AACE Act

This act relaxes requirements for the Department of the Interior in appraising and valuing real property for transactions over which Interior has jurisdiction.

Specifically, a private real property appraiser needs only to be licensed or certified in one state to perform appraisal or valuation services for real property over which Interior has jurisdiction. Currently, if a private assessor is used for a real property transaction within Interior's jurisdiction, that assessor must be licensed or certified in the state where that transaction occurs.
