Alabama Administrative Code › Title 780 - ALABAMA REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS BOARD › Chapter 780-X-6 - EXPERIENCE › Section 780-X-6-.05 - Qualifying Experience - Certified General Real Property Appraiser

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
As of the date the application is filed with the Board, the
				equivalent of three thousand (3000) hours of appraisal experience is necessary
				for approval of a license for the Certified General Real Property
				classification. Experience shall be recorded on the log contained in the
				application. The log must contain all appraisals the applicant has signed or is
				entitled to claim for experience credit, beginning with the most recent
				appraisals (up to and including the date the application is filed with the
				Board) and going back, up to 5 years, until the required number of experience
				hours is documented. Evaluation assignment reports shall not be included on the
				log of appraisal report assignments. Applicants may claim the full experience
				credit allowed for an appraisal, regardless of the number of signing
				appraisers. In evaluation of experience credit offered as qualifying experience
				under
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								34-27A-11, the Board
				will take into consideration the following:
(a) Hours Required. A total of 3000 hours is
			 required for general certification.
(b) Residential Experience Limited.
			 Experience for a dwelling (residential appraisal) will be awarded only if there
			 is an interior and exterior inspection. Only appraisals that meet the minimum
			 appraisal requirements of USPAP will be considered for experience
			 credit.
(c) At least eighteen
			 months experience. Three thousand hours obtained within at least eighteen
			 months shall be required for a general certification, of which at least 1500
			 hours shall be on non-residential property. The quantitative experience
			 requirements must be satisfied by time spent on the appraisal process. The
			 appraisal process consists of: analyzing factors that affect value; defining
			 the problem; gathering and analyzing data; applying the appropriate analysis
			 and methodology; and arriving at an opinion and correctly reporting the opinion
			 in compliance with USPAP. Experience will not be allowed for appraisals that do
			 not demonstrate that the candidate participated in all elements of the
			 appraisal, including the inspection process. Experience credit will be given
			 for appraisals completed within the last five years.
(d) USPAP Compliance. Appraisals must comply
			 with USPAP for hours to be awarded for experience credit. The Board will select
			 a representative sample of appraisals from the logs submitted by the applicant.
			 The applicant will submit the selected sample for the Board to examine for
			 compliance with USPAP. If the sample complies with USPAP the Board will
			 consider that all of the experience submitted by applicant complies with USPAP.
			 A determination by the Board that the sample does not comply with USPAP shall
			 be presumptive that all of the appraisals submitted for experience credit do
			 not comply with USPAP. The applicant then has the burden and shall have the
			 opportunity to demonstrate that the experience claimed is USPAP compliant at a
			 reconsideration hearing held pursuant to Rule
			 780-X-3-.05.
