(a)The board shall charge and the commissioner shall collect the following fees: (1)an application or renewal fee for a general certification of $200, for residential certification of $150, or for licensing of $125; (2)an application or renewal fee for approval as an appraiser trainee of $75; (3)no fee is required for notifying the board of a change of office location; (4)a fee for nonresident appraiser registration of $150; (5)an annual federal registry fee of $25; (6)an application fee by reciprocity set at the amount of the fee charged in the appraiser's state of present licensure or certification; (7)a fee for providing each licensure history of $10; (8)a fee for an addition or termination of sponsorship of an appraiser trainee of $20; (9)a fee for replacing a lost or destroyed certificate of $15; (10)a fee for a returned check equal to that charged for a returned check by the Texas Real Estate Commission; and (11)an additional renewal fee of $10 is required of each general certified and residential certified appraiser for establishing and maintaining on-line renewals. On-line renewals are mandated by SB-187 and SB-645, 77th Legislature, 2001, and the additional renewal fee is required whether or not the individual renews on-line. (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 thirty 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 an 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.
