Temporary practice
(1) An appraiser who is certified, state
licensed, or provisionally licensed by the appraiser licensing agency or
certifying agency in another state may register to receive temporary
certification or temporary provisional licensure in this state by paying the
appropriate fee and filing with the board a registration form approved by and
obtained from the commission. The commission shall provide written notification
of acceptance of the registration to the appraiser via mail, facsimile,
electronic mail or other appropriate means not later than five days after
receipt of the fee and a properly completed registration form.
(2) The temporary certification or temporary
provisional license, as the case may be, shall be effective for six months from
issuance and will apply to one appraisal assignment which will be specified in
the application. The commission may grant one extension upon request of the
appraiser if the appraiser is unable to complete the appraisal assignment
within six months. One appraisal assignment means one or more real estate
appraisals which have been contracted for in a single contract. Temporary
certification and temporary provisional licensure are available to appraisers
from all states unless a state's appraiser certifications or licenses are not
recognized under FIRREA.
