UAD 3.6 & The New URAR: A Quick Reference for Lenders

Preparing for the Next Generation of Appraisal Reporting

Supporting appraisers through the UAD 3.6 transition with expert data entry services

🔄

1. The Core Shift: From Forms to Data

The biggest change is the retirement of legacy forms (1004, 1073, 2055, etc.). In their place is a single, dynamic report that adapts to the property type.

Legacy: Static PDF forms with limited "boxes" for data.
UAD 3.6: A data-centric report where sections expand or contract based on the property.
📅

2. Key Milestones (2026–2027)

We are currently in the Broad Production Period. Here is the roadmap:

Jan 26, 2026
Broad Production began. All lenders can now submit UAD 3.6 reports to the GSEs.
Nov 2, 2026
Mandatory Transition. All new appraisal assignments must use UAD 3.6 format.
May 3, 2027
Legacy UAD 2.6 fully retired; no further revisions to old forms allowed.
