Requirement for Nys Certified General Appraiser License

[BLIMAG]

Hi, I am a NYS Certified appraiser. Got my appraiser license in 2004 and certified in 2007. I applied for my NYS Certified General Appraiser License in May 2020 and was rejected as I require a Bachelor's Degree or higher. I was told I am grandfathered in since I receive my Certified License in 2007. Does any one know anything about this? Where I can look this up to verify this and re-submit my application.

You were told by whom? I believe when they implemented the new regulations requiring a bachelor's degree, you had a finite window to apply and be grandfathered in. This window is no longer in play.

Do you know the date it expired?

The changes went into effect on 5/1/2019 which is the same date that the "grandfathered" exception expired.

The grandfathering you are referring to expired on January 1, 2015. I am well aware of it, because I made sure that I had everything wrapped up well before then. I have the degree, by my issue was that I would have had to take all of the appraisal courses again because I took them so long ago.

The grandfathering is no longer applicable. The long and short of it is that you must have a Bachelor's degree to qualify for a CG credential; no exceptions.
