(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)To renew a license on active status,
a license holder must complete the ACE report form approved by the
Board and, within 20 days of filing the renewal application, submit
course completion certificates for each course that was not already
submitted by the education provider and reflected in the license holder's
electronic license record.
(A)The Board may request additional verification of
ACE submitted in connection with a renewal. If requested, such documentation
must be provided within 20 days after the date of request.
(B)Knowingly or intentionally furnishing false or
misleading ACE information in connection with a renewal is grounds
for disciplinary action up to and including license revocation.
(4)[(3)] An application for
renewal [or extension] received by the Board is timely
and acceptable for processing if it is:
(A)complete;
(B)accompanied with payment of the required [
proper] 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 [Certified General,
Certified Residential and Licensed Residential Appraisers].
[(1)In order to renew on active status,
the license holder must complete the ACE report form approved by the
Board and, within 20 days of filing the renewal, submit course completion
certificates for each course that was not already submitted by the
provider and reflected in the license holder's electronic license
record.]
[(A)The Board may request additional verification
of ACE submitted in connection with a renewal. If requested, such
documentation must be provided within 20 days after the date of request.]
[(B)Knowingly or intentionally furnishing false or
misleading ACE information in connection with a renewal is grounds
for disciplinary action up to and including license revocation.]
(1)[(2)] 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 [with
the appropriate renewal fees];
(ii)complete an extension request form; and
(iii)pay the required renewal and [an]
extension fees [fee of $200].
(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.
[(c)][Appraiser Trainees.]
[(1)Appraiser trainees must maintain
an appraisal log and appraisal experience affidavits on forms approved
by the Board, for the license period being renewed. It is the responsibility
of both the appraiser trainee and the supervisory appraiser to ensure
the appraisal log is accurate, complete and signed by both parties
at least quarterly or upon change in supervisory appraiser. The appraiser
trainee will promptly provide copies of the experience logs and affidavits
to the Board upon request.]
(2)Appraiser trainees may not obtain an extension
of time to complete required continuing education.
(c)[(d)] 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)[(e)] 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.
The agency certifies that legal counsel
has reviewed the emergency adoption and found it to be within the
state agency's legal authority to adopt.
