To upgrade from a certified residential real property appraiser
to a certified general real property appraiser, an applicant must complete the
following additional education, examination, supervision, and experience
requirements, which include work product review and a state and national
criminal history check as provided in Iowa Code section
543D.22.
For all intents and purposes, a certified residential real property appraiser
seeking to upgrade to a certified general status will be considered an
associate appraiser as it relates to differences between the scope of practice
of the two licensure categories, and the upgrade process will generally follow
the same registration requirements, supervisory identification and maintenance
requirements, and processes and procedures generally applicable to associate
appraisers set forth in 193F-Chapter 4.
(1)
Education.
a.
Collegiate education.
Certified residential real property appraisers must satisfy the college-level
education requirements as specified in rule
193F-6.2 (543D).
b.
Core criteria. In
addition to the formal education and core criteria educational requirements
originally required to obtain a certified residential credential, an applicant
must meet the current AQB requirements before taking the AQB-approved
examination.
(2)
Examination. An applicant must satisfy the examination
requirements as specified in rule
193F-6.3 (543D).
(3)
Supervision and
experience.
a.
Experience. An applicant must satisfy all of the experience
requirements as specified in rules
193F-6.4 (543D) and
193F-6.5 (543D). In obtaining
and documenting the 3,000 total experience hours required by subrule 6.5(2), as
is the case for initial licensure, such hours must be accumulated in no fewer
than 18 months while in active status as, in effect, a registered associate
appraiser pursuing an upgrade pursuant to this rule and subject to the
supervision of an Iowa-certified appraiser. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(1) To the extent residential appraisal
experience may be counted toward licensure in accordance with subrule 6.5(2),
residential appraisal experience obtained as a certified residential appraiser
prior to initiating the upgrade process may be included on the appraisal log
and, subject to the work product review process, counted toward the
experience-hours requirement for purposes of upgrading from a certified real
property appraiser to a certified general real property appraiser; provided
that such residential appraisal experience obtained prior to initiating the
upgrade process shall not apply toward the 18-month requirement.
(2) Applicants may request that the board
approve experience hours performed in the absence of registration as an
associate real property appraiser by filing an application for approval on a
form provided by the board, which application will be subject to and governed
by the same processes and standards set forth in rule
193F-6.4 (543D).
b.
Supervision.
Subject to applicable exceptions, all nonresidential experience obtained and
applied toward obtaining a certified general credential as part of the upgrade
process shall be performed under the direct supervision of a certified general
real property appraiser pursuant to the provisions of 193F-Chapter 15 and shall
be subject to the identification, notification, maintenance, approval,
scope-of-practice, log, and monitoring requirements set forth in 193F-Chapter
4. Both the applicant and the applicant's supervisor(s) must complete a
supervisor/trainee course within the five years prior to the board's receipt of
the associate registration application identifying a supervisor with the board
or prior to the applicant's obtaining or claiming any experience hours under
the supervision of that supervisor.
(4)
Work product review. An
applicant must satisfy the work product review requirements as specified in
rules
193F-6.5 (543D) and
193F-6.6 (543D).
(5)
Practical Applications of Real
Estate Appraisal. An applicant seeking to upgrade from a certified
residential credential to a certified general credential may gain partial
experience credit through an AQB-approved PAREA program pursuant to rule
193F-6.8 (543D).
(6)
Background check. A
state and national criminal history check shall be performed on any appraiser
upgrading to a new credential consistent with Iowa Code section
543D.22.
