Where do you fit?
A license under Section 4763.11 of the Ohio Revised Code can be revoked for several reasons. Procuring a certificate, registration, or license by knowingly making a false statement, submitting untrue information, or fraud or misrepresentation. You are engaging in dishonesty, fraud, or misrepresentation to benefit oneself or another person or injure another person. Violating the standards for developing, preparing, communicating, or reporting an appraisal report as outlined in the chapter and the board’s rules or engaging in negligence or incompetence in these activities can lead to disciplinary action.
Accepting an appraisal assignment where the employment is contingent upon a predetermined estimate, analysis, or opinion or where the fee depends on the appraisal's outcome is another reason for revocation. This practice is not only unethical but also violates the professional standards of the industry. Additionally, violating the confidential nature of governmental records accessed through employment or engagement as an appraiser by a governmental agency or having a final judgment against the certificate holder, registrant, or licensee on the grounds of fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or gross negligence in performing any real estate appraisal can result in losing one's license.
Violating any federal or state civil rights law, publishing misleading or inaccurate advertising, misrepresenting any appraisal or specialized service, failing to provide copies of records to the superintendent, or failing to maintain records as required by law. Being sanctioned or disciplined in another jurisdiction as a real estate appraiser or failing to assist the members and staff of the board or the division of real estate in enforcing the chapter and its rules.
