Miss. Code § 73-34-47

Current through the 2024 Regular Session
Section 73-34-47 - Form and content of license; return of license; records of licenses

The board shall issue to each licensed appraiser or licensed certified real estate appraiser under this chapter a license evidencing such licensure. The board shall also issue a pocket card in such size and form as the board approves.

A license issued under this chapter shall bear a license number assigned by the board. When signing an appraisal report or certified appraisal report, the licensee shall place such appraiser's license number adjacent to or immediately below the title of "licensed appraiser" or "licensed certified residential real estate appraiser" or "licensed certified general real estate appraiser" or "licensed timberland appraiser." Such license number shall also be used in all statements of qualification, contracts or other instruments used by the license holder when reference is made to such license holder's status as a licensed appraiser or licensed certified real estate appraiser.

The license must bear the current physical address of the licensee's place of business, which shall be a room either in his or her home or an office elsewhere, to be used for the transaction of the appraisal business. In case of removal from the designated address, the licensee shall make application to the board before removal, or within ten (10) days after removal, designating the new location of such office, whereupon the board shall forthwith issue a new license for the new location.

Licenses and pocket cards shall remain the property of the state; and, upon any suspension or revocation of a license pursuant to this chapter, the individual holding the related license and pocket card shall immediately return such license and pocket card to the board.

The board shall maintain and keep open for public inspection during office hours a complete and properly indexed record of all applications for licensure received and licenses issued, renewed, revoked, cancelled or suspended under the provisions of this chapter. A copy of any such record, except pending investigation files, shall be made available to the public, upon application to the board, at such reasonable price per copy as may be fixed by the board.
