I refinanced a mortgage loan in the second half of 2016. The bank back dated the loan to Dec 1, 2015 closing date to accommodate a lower interest rate.

Can I take my appraisal expenses off for tax year 2016?

Appraisal expenses are not deductible for a re-finance of a loan. Only the mortgage interest, property taxes and amortized points are deductible.

This is for a rental property. Does that make a difference? Can I deduct the expense?

Sorry, no.
