Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 193F - Real Estate Appraiser Examining Board › Chapter 8 - Renewal, Expiration and Reinstatement of Certificates and Registrations, Retired Status, and Inactive Status › Rule 193F-8.5 - Inactive Status

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
General purpose.
A licensee who is not engaged in Iowa in any
			 practice licensed by the board may allow a license to lapse or register as
			 inactive. The board will continue to maintain a database of persons registered
			 as inactive as well as those whose license has lapsed. A person registered in
			 inactive status is not allowed to perform services in this state regulated by
			 the board. Continuing education is not required for licensees in inactive
			 status.
(2)
Eligibility.
A person holding an active license may apply on
			 forms through the board's online system to register as inactive if the person
			 is not engaged in appraisal practice in the state of Iowa for which a
			 certificate or associate registration is needed. Inactive status is not
			 available to an individual who has had a board-issued license revoked or
			 suspended. A person seeking inactive status may be actively engaged in the
			 practice of real estate appraising in another jurisdiction.
(3)
Affirmation.
The
			 application form will contain a statement in which the applicant affirms that
			 the applicant will not engage in any conduct that would require an Iowa license
			 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 8.5(6).
(4)
Renewal.
A person registered as inactive will need to renew
			 biennially. Licensees in inactive status may continue to renew in inactive
			 status. Active licensees may register in inactive status if, for instance, they
			 have not completed all continuing education obligations needed for active
			 status renewal. Any licensee in inactive status must satisfy all outstanding
			 continuing education obligations before reinstating to active status.
			 Continuing education obligations do not accrue during the period of inactive
			 registration.
(5)
Grounds
			 for discipline.
Licensees are not authorized to practice or to hold
			 themselves out to the public as board-licensed appraisers during the period of
			 time that the licensee is in retired or inactive status. Any violation of this
			 subrule will be grounds for discipline.
(6)
Reactivation.
A person
			 registered as inactive will apply to reactivate to active status prior to
			 engaging in any practice in Iowa that necessitates active licensure by the
			 board. An application to reactivate to active status will be through the
			 board's online system. Prior to reactivation to active status, the applicant
			 has to complete all education that would have been needed had the applicant
			 been on active status, including the required courses set by the AQB criteria.
			 All such continuing education has to be verified whether or not the applicant
			 has been in active practice in another jurisdiction. Such an applicant will 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 associate licensee changing from active to inactive
			 status during a biennial renewal period will not, however, be entitled to a
			 refund of any of the fees previously paid to attain active status.
