When it comes to paying an appraiser, There are no set rules.  When it comes to financing a property its banks who pay for an appraisal.  Some banks charge that back to burrowers.  Private lenders usually ask the home owner to pay for it.  If the purpose of the appraisal is non lending such as a divorce or tax purposes it would be the home owner or the person who orders it would have to pay for it.  Regardless, A discussion with a licensed appraiser will clarify all these questions
