Iowa Admin. Code r. 193F-9.4

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 8, October 30, 2024

Rule 193F-9.4 - [Effective until 5/22/2024] Failure to renew

(1) The certificate or registration of a certified or associate appraiser shall lapse unless the appraiser submits a timely and sufficient renewal application by the expiration date.

(2) A certified or associate appraiser may renew a certificate or registration after the expiration date by submitting a sufficient renewal application and biennial renewal fee, accompanied by the late renewal fee as provided in 193F-Chapter 12, within 30 calendar days of the expiration date. The board will allow the reinstatement of a lapsed certificate or registration during the 30-day period following expiration for an appraiser who did not complete all required continuing education during the prior biennium but who will have sufficient continuing education if courses completed during the 30-day period following lapse are included. The continuing education completed between July 1 and July 30 that fulfills a shortage of continuing education in the prior biennium shall not be counted toward the continuing education required in a subsequent renewal.

(3) If a certified or associate appraiser fails to renew within the 30-day grace period provided for in subrule 9.4(2), the appraiser shall be required to reinstate in accordance with subrule 9.4(5).

(4) Certified and associate appraisers are not authorized to practice or to hold themselves out to the public as certified or registered appraisers during the period of time that the certificate or registration is lapsed, including during the 30-day grace period following the lapse. Any violation of this subrule shall be grounds for discipline.

(5) Reinstatement. The board may reinstate a lapsed certificate or registration upon the applicant's submission of an application to reinstate and completion of all of the following:

a. Paying a penalty as provided in rule 193F-12.1 (543D); and

b. Paying the current renewal fee as provided in rule 193F-12.1 (543D); and

c. Paying the ASC National Registry fee as provided in rule 193F-12.1 (543D); and

d. Completing a state and national criminal history check consistent with Iowa Code section 543D.22.

e. Providing evidence of completed continuing education outlined in rule 193F-11.2 (272C,543D), as modified for associate appraisers in subrule 9.4(6), if the licensee wishes to reinstate to active status; and

f. Providing a written statement outlining the professional activities of the applicant in the state of Iowa during the period in which the applicant's certificate or registration was lapsed. The statement shall describe all appraisal services performed, with or without the use of the titles described in Iowa Code section 543D.15, for all appraisal assignments that are required by federal or state law, rule, or policy to be performed by a certified real estate appraiser.

(6) Special continuing education requirements for reinstating associate appraisers. The board seeks to ensure that associate appraisers make progress toward full completion of all qualifying education required for eventual certification, as provided in rules 193F-5.2 (543D) and 193F-6.2 (543D). As a result, an associate appraiser applying to reinstate a registration that has been lapsed for 12 months or longer shall apply, in addition to the most recent 7-hour USPAP course, only qualifying education toward the continuing education required for reinstatement, until all qualifying education has been completed. All qualifying education taken as continuing education may also be applied as qualifying education toward certification. If the applicant has already completed all qualifying education or is required to have continuing education hours beyond those needed to fully complete all qualifying education, the applicant may use any approved continuing education course in addition to the mandatory 7-hour USPAP course.
