Iowa Admin. Code r. 193F-9.5 - [Effective until 5/22/2024] Inactive status
(1)
General purpose. This rule establishes a procedure under which
a person issued a certificate or associate registration may apply to the board
to register in inactive status. Registration under this rule is available to a
certificate holder or associate registrant residing within or outside the state
of Iowa who is not engaged in Iowa in any practice for which a certificate or
associate registration is required. A person eligible to register as inactive
may, as an alternative to such registration, allow a certificate or associate
registration to lapse. The board will continue to maintain a data base on
persons registered as inactive, including information which may not routinely
be maintained after a certificate or associate registration has lapsed through
failure to renew. A person who registers as inactive will accordingly receive
renewal applications, board newsletters and other mass communications from the
board. Because a person registered in inactive status may not practice in Iowa
or hold oneself out to the public as authorized to practice as a certified
appraiser or registered associate appraiser, such person is not required to
complete continuing education.
(2)
Eligibility. A person holding a lapsed or active certificate
as a real property appraiser, or a lapsed or active registration as a
registered associate, which has not been revoked or suspended may apply on
forms provided by the board to register as inactive if the person is not
engaged in the state of Iowa in any practice for which a certificate or
associate registration is required. Such a person may be actively engaged in
the practice of real estate appraising in another jurisdiction. Such a person
may also engage in such appraisal practices as may be performed in Iowa by
persons who do not hold a certificate as a real property appraiser or associate
registration as long as the person does not hold oneself out to the public as a
certified or associate real estate appraiser.
(3)
Affirmation. The
application form shall contain a statement in which the applicant affirms that
the applicant will not engage in any practice prohibited by subrule 9.5(2) in
Iowa without first complying with all rules governing reactivation to active
status. A person in inactive status may reactivate to active status at any time
pursuant to subrule 9.5(6).
(4)
Renewal. A person registered as inactive may renew the
person's certificate or associate registration to inactive status on the
biennial schedule described in
193F-9.1 (272C,543D). Such
person is exempt from the continuing education requirements for renewal and
will be charged a reduced rate, as provided in 193F-Chapter 12. An inactive
certificate or associate registration shall lapse if not timely renewed. An
active certificate holder or associate registrant may renew as inactive if such
person has not completed all continuing education requirements and may
thereafter apply for active status, through the reactivation process as
provided in subrule 9.6(6), when the deficiency has been remedied.
(5)
Grounds for discipline.
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 in retired or inactive
status. Any violation of this subrule shall be grounds for
discipline.
(6)
Reactivation. A person registered as inactive shall apply to
reactivate to active status prior to engaging in any practice in Iowa that
requires certification or associate registration. An application to reactivate
to active status shall be on a form provided by the board, shall demonstrate
full compliance with all applicable continuing education requirements, and
shall be accompanied by a fee to reactivate an inactive license and the
biennial fee for active status as provided in rule
193F-12.1 (543D). Prior to
reactivation to active status, the applicant must complete all education that
would have been required had the applicant been on active status, including the
most recent seven-hour USPAP update course. All such continuing education must
be verified whether or not the applicant has been in active practice in another
jurisdiction. Additionally, the special continuing education requirements that
apply to associate appraisers reinstating a lapsed registration, as provided in
subrule 9.4(6), shall apply to associate appraisers reactivating to active
status following a period of inactive status of 12 months or longer. Such an
applicant shall be given credit for the most recent renewal fees previously
paid if the applicant applies to reactivate in the same biennium at other than
the applicant's regular renewal date. An applicant changing from active to
inactive status during a biennial renewal period shall not, however, be
entitled to a refund of any of the fees previously paid to attain active
status.
