Chapter 1255-03 - Evaluation of Appraiser Experience
Section 1255-03-.02 - CRITERIA FOR STANDARD AND REVIEW APPRAISAL EXPERIENCE

Current through April 3, 2024

(1) Acceptable Experience.

(a) If the applicant performed at least fifty percent (50%) of the appraisal report, then the Commission shall grant full credit for that appraisal, even if this work was reviewed by a supervising appraiser who signed the appraisal report. Except as provided below for "review appraisals," credit will not be granted for appraisals where an applicant performed less than fifty percent (50%) of the work.

(b) Review Appraisals: If the applicant performed a "review" of an appraisal performed by another person and the applicant prepared a separate written review appraisal report, in conformance with Standard 3 of the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice, the applicant will receive credit for the actual work hours performed on the assignment.

(c) Mass Appraisals. The Commission shall grant experience credit to appraisers who perform mass appraisals in compliance with Standard Six of Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and who demonstrate that they:
1. use techniques to value properties similar to those used by appraisers practicing under Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice Standard One; and

2. effectively use the appraisal process as referenced in the Guidelines of Standard Six of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

3. Properties which conform to the preceding definitions should be credited for the actual work hours performed on the assignment. Mass appraisals shall comprise no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total experience hours required to become licensed or certified.

(2) Requests for Reconsideration: If an applicant wishes to appeal the evaluation of his experience he may file a written request for individual review by the Commission. Nothing in this rule shall create the right to a formal contested proceeding (as defined by the Tennessee Administrative Procedures Act).

(3) An applicant should also refer to Chapter 1255-1 General Provisions for further delineation of experience requirements.

(4) No experience credit shall be given for evaluations.

(5) In appropriate circumstances, the Commission may grant partial or whole credit for demonstration reports. No more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the experience requirement may be obtained through demonstration reports from AQB approved case study courses or practicum courses or demonstration reports approved by the Commission.
