ATTN: Effective November 1, 2023, any currently licensed appraiser, certified appraiser, and appraiser trainee, applying for
license or certificate renewal shall successfully complete during the preceding 3-year license cycle a minimum of 3 hours of
appraisal education related to racial discrimination and implicit bias. (posted 5/8/23)
THE MANDATORY 42 HOURS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL BEFORE RENEWING YOUR APPRAISER LICENSE.
If the appraiser's license has expired additional continuing education will be required to reinstate the license. An appraiser applicant shall have completed 14 hours of continuing education for each year or portion thereof since the license has been expired in addition to the required 42 hours of continuing education.
Our Commission is mandated to send updates to the Appraisal SubCommittee (ASC) every 30 days. As a courtesy our Commission sends the data every two weeks.
Please read ALL requirements and instructions before proceeding with the application process.
A real estate appraiser license must be renewed by the third anniversary of the issuance of the license and every three years thereafter. The Commission will email a renewal application and instructions approximately 60 days prior to the expiration date of the current license. If no email address has been provided for the account the renewal information will be mailed to the address on file. If a licensee's failure to receive a license renewal packet is due to his or her failure to advise the Commission of a change of address, the Commission is not responsible for late renewals or any late fees that might be imposed. A written request is required in order to change your licensing records to reflect a change of address.
It is required that you have a certification or complete a certain number of continuing education or competency units, credits, or hours of instruction in order to be eligible to renew or reinstate your license, certificate, or registration, you must fulfill these requirements prior to submitting your application. The required continuing education or competency units, credits or hours must be completed before you file this application for renewal or reinstatement, regardless of the expiration date on the license, certificate or registration to be renewed. Note: an appraiser may not complete more than 8 hours of continuing education in the same calendar day.
If you have not fully completed the courses, units, credits, or hours you are certifying that you have taken, you may be subject to disciplinary action for falsely representing that you have met the requirements and qualify for the license, certificate or registration for which you have applied. The results of disciplinary action against you could include the suspension or revocation of the license, certificate, or registration that you have obtained.
Reinstatement of an Expired License
The Commission may not reinstate the license of a real estate appraiser who for any reason fails to apply for reinstatement within nine years after the license has expired.
A real estate appraiser who fails to renew his or her license during its regular term may renew the license/certificate if the applicant meets all continuing education and filing requirements and pays the Commission a reinstatement fee of $75 in addition to the renewal fee required. Prior to the reinstatement of an expired license/certificate, a license/credential holder must complete all required continuing education hours that would have been required if the license/credential was in an active status, dating back to the expiration of the license/certificate. The required hours must also include the most recent edition of a seven-hour National USPAP Update Course. Please note that any statutory obligation or Commission approval may also be required.
