Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1) Application Filing. A person desiring to become a Licensee shall file an application in a format prescribed by the Board. The application shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee and supporting documentation. Applicants must certify, under pains and penalties of perjury, that information provided in an application is truthful and accurate.
(2) Application Form. The application form shall require the applicant to provide all or any portion of the following information:
(3) Supporting Documentation. Each applicant shall provide supporting documentation as required by the Board, including, but not limited to the following:
(4) Personal Appearance. The Board may require an applicant to appear before the Board or a subcommittee of the Board for an interview, or audit as set forth in 264 CMR 5.00: Licensure/Certification Requirements.
(5) Experience Review. Applicants who are required to provide appraisal reports and file data to the Board or appear before the Board for an audit of claimed experience, may be determined ineligible for licensure or upgrade of their current license classification if the reports and files reviewed by the Board demonstrate a lack of competency in appraisal methodology or fail to comply with the requirements of the USPAP.
(6) Board Action. When an application is fully processed and ready for Board action, it shall be reviewed by the Board or a subcommittee to determine whether the applicant is eligible to sit for a licensing or certification examination. When the Board has made its decision, the applicant will be notified. If an applicant fails to provide any of the required or requested documentation necessary to complete the application, pay required fees, appear before the Board, or cooperate with an audit of claimed experience within six months of the date the applicant is notified by the Board of such a requirement or request, such application shall be considered denied and a new application and application fee shall be required to be submitted for license qualification.
(7) Appeal of Application Denial Based on Experience Review. Applicants whose applications are denied based on the Board's review of appraisal reports and file data may request reconsideration of their application. Reconsideration of a denied application must be requested within six months of the date the application was originally denied by the Board. If after such request and reconsideration, the Board again denies the application, a new application and application fee shall be required to be submitted for license qualification.
