Alabama Administrative Code › Title 780 - ALABAMA REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS BOARD › Chapter 780-X-6 - EXPERIENCE › Section 780-X-6-.02 - Qualifying Experience - State Registered Real Property Appraiser

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
As of the date the application is filed with the Board, a
				minimum of 100 points of appraisal experience is necessary for approval for
				this license. In evaluating experience offered as qualifying experience under
Code of Ala. 1975
, §
								34-27A-11, the Board will
				look for the following minimum experience:
(a) Points Required Per Year. One year's
			 experience will require proof of completion of at least 100 points of approved
			 appraisals. A total of 100 points are required for a State Registered License.
			 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 points is documented.
			 Applicants may claim the full experience credit allowed for an appraisal,
			 regardless of the number of signing appraisers, for all appraisals signed on or
			 after January 1, 2014.
(b)
			 Residential and Non-Residential Appraisals Counted. Appraisals of both
			 residential and non-residential properties can be included in the experience
			 points necessary for the State Registered License. Experience for a dwelling
			 (residential appraisal) will be awarded only if there is an interior and
			 exterior inspection.
(c) One Years
			 Experience. A minimum of one calendar years experience shall be required for
			 Licensure. Experience credit will be given for appraisals completed within the
			 last five years.
(d) USPAP
			 Compliance. Appraisals must comply with USPAP for points 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.
