The Professional Valuers Association was founded in 2003, as an association for registered professional property valuers in South Africa. The PVA is a recognised voluntary professional body, established in terms of the SA Council for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP) under the umbrella of the Built Environment Act of South Africa. 

The PVA is run by members who are all registered property valuers, committed to ethical professional practice in the industry. The PVA assists in the best interests of its members, the public and the property valuation industry in general, through communication, education, innovation, representation, provision of systems, networking and referral opportunities, premised upon professional values and integrity. Membership is open to all SA registered Valuers and qualifying affiliates.
