Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 193F - Real Estate Appraiser Examining Board › Chapter 9 - Reciprocity › Rule 193F-9.5 - Inactive Status

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(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			 registered associate, which has not been revoked or suspended may apply on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.
