(b)Fees must be submitted in U.S. currency or funds payable to the order of the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. Fees are not refundable once an application has been accepted for filing. Persons who have submitted a check which has been returned, and who have not made good on that check within 30 days, for whatever reason, shall submit all future fees in the form of a cashier's check or money order. (c)Appraisers certified or licensed by the board shall pay any annual registry fee required under federal law within 30 days after the board mails a written request for payment of the fee to the appraiser's last known business address as shown in the board's records. If, however, the board requests payment of the registry fee in connection with renewal of a certification or license, the registry fee must be paid at the same time as the fee for certification or license renewal. All registry fees collected by the board shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of a special fund to be known as the appraiser registry fund. The board shall send the fees to the council as required by federal law.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been
reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's
legal authority.
