Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) General
Provisions.
(1) The Board will send a renewal
notice to the license holder at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the
license. It is the responsibility of the license holder to apply for renewal in
accordance with this chapter, and failure to receive a renewal notice from the
Board does not relieve the license holder of the responsibility to timely apply
for renewal.
(2) A license holder
renews the license by timely filing an application for renewal, paying the
appropriate fees to the Board, and satisfying all applicable education,
experience, fingerprint and criminal history check requirements.
(3) An application for renewal received by
the Board is timely and acceptable for processing if it is:
(A) complete;
(B) accompanied with payment of the required
fees; and
(C) postmarked by the
U.S. Postal Service, accepted by an overnight delivery service, or accepted by
the Board's online processing system on or before the date of
expiration.
(b) ACE Extensions.
(1) The Board may grant, at the time it
issues a license renewal, an extension of time of up to 60 days after the
expiration date of the previous license to complete ACE required to renew a
license, subject to the following:
(A) The
license holder must:
(i) timely submit the
completed renewal form;
(ii)
complete an extension request form; and
(iii) pay the required renewal and extension
fees.
(B) ACE courses
completed during the 60-day extension period apply only to the current renewal
and may not be applied to any subsequent renewal of the license.
(C) A person whose license was renewed with a
60-day ACE extension:
(i) will be designated
as non-AQB compliant on the National Registry and will not perform appraisals
in a federally related transaction until verification is received by the Board
that the ACE requirements have been met;
(ii) may continue to perform appraisals in
non-federally related transactions under the renewed license;
(iii) must, within 60 days after the date of
expiration of the previous license, complete the approved ACE report form and
submit course completion certificates for each course that was not already
submitted by the provider and reflected in the applicant's electronic license
record; and
(iv) will have the
renewed license placed in inactive status if, within 60 days of the previous
expiration date, ACE is not completed and reported in the manner indicated in
paragraph (2) of this subsection. The renewed license will remain on inactive
status until satisfactory evidence of meeting the ACE requirements has been
received by the Board and the fee to return to active status required by §
153.5 of this
title (relating to Fees) has been paid.
(2) Appraiser trainees may not obtain an
extension of time to complete required continuing education.
(c) Renewal of Licenses for
Persons on Active Duty. A person who is on active duty in the United States
armed forces may renew an expired license without being subject to any increase
in fee imposed in his or her absence, or any additional education or experience
requirements if the person:
(1) did not
provide appraisal services while on active duty;
(2) provides a copy of official orders or
other documentation acceptable to the Board showing the person was on active
duty during the last renewal period;
(3) applies for the renewal within two years
after the person's active duty ends;
(4) pays the renewal application fees in
effect when the previous license expired; and
(5) completes ACE requirements that would
have been imposed for a timely renewal.
(d) Late Renewal. If an application is filed
within six months of the expiration of a previous license, the applicant shall
also provide satisfactory evidence of completion of any continuing education
that would have been required for a timely renewal of the previous
license.
(e) Denial of Renewal. The
Board may deny an application for license renewal if the license holder is in
violation of a Board order.
