Do any states require residency to be an appraiser

[Terrel L. Shields]

Border states have "issues". A trainee who lived in one state (A), trained in another (B) and rarely ventured into her home state, but could not reciprocate from (B) back to (A). She ended up having to complete the requirements of (A), then reciprocate back to (B)... Then she moved....across the line into (B) ..... and had to reverse the process, meeting the "new" requirements of (B) and reciprocating back into (A.)

If I didn't need to be licensed in more than one state, I wouldn't be. Lost of witch hunting going on these days. Who in their right mind would voluntarily sign up for increased liability? If "Tom" is working in MA but licensed only in CA, that would, in all likelihood, greatly reduce his personal risk. Just because he's gaming a system that may in fact be out to get him at some future time, doesn't mean he's necessarily a poor appraiser or a crooked appraiser. That being said, I tend to be highly suspect of appraisers who open AMCs, and obviously, if he's the RA, it's his company.

A similar example perhaps:

Bill (was) is the Chief appraiser for Appraiserloft.

Bill is not licensed in California.

Bill is now the chief appraiser for Kirchmeyer & Associates, Inc,
They appear to be based in New York.

Is Bill licensed in New York? I don't know but he holds a SRA from the Appraisal Institute!

Where is he licensed? It appears to matter not.

Certified in Ohio.

If he no longer lives in Ohio.......perhaps he needs to change his address with their state board which will change it on the ASC.gov site. Maybe not.

I absolutley would not have any clue if TOM is a poor appraiser or a crooked appraiser. I have ZERO data concerning any of that.

Nothing more to this than I find it odd, unusual and ironic that an appraiser who live in MA and has no license there, is able to satisfy the requirements of "compliance manager" for the NC Appraisal Board by use of his appraisal certification issued by CA......where he no longer lives.



The ORIGINAL AMC law verrision required the "compliance manager"
to be a certified geneneral appraiser residing in NC.


The original version went through the sausage grinder of campaign contributions, PAC money and lobbyist influence and became:



21 NCAC 57D .0303 Compliance Manager
42
(a) A compliance manager shall be designated with the Board for each appraisal management company. The compliance manager shall be a certified real estate appraiser certified under Article I of this chapter or in another state.


(b) An appraisal management company shall file an application with the Board for approval of the designated compliance manager. This application shall provide the Board with information such as the compliance manager's name, mailing and physical address, and phone and email contact information, and shall be signed by the designated compliance manager.

Is there reciprocity with other states?

Yes. An applicant may be certified/licensed in New York State without examination and further qualification if the applicant is certified/licensed in another state or territory:

• whose program has been officially endorsed by the Federal Appraisal Subcommittee.
• whose examination has been approved by the Appraiser Qualification Board of the Appraisal Foundation.
• who has entered into a reciprocal agreement with New York State for the recognition of each others' licensing/certification program.

Reciprocity applicants must submit the following:

• A certification from the state agency in which they are currently licensed/certified, indicating current status as an appraiser in good standing
• An "Irrevocable Consent" form, if nonresident
• A completed appraiser application (p. 1) and Attachment G with $300 ($250 application and $50 federal registration fee)

The term for a reciprocal license/certification is 2 years.

New York does not require a correct and current address for license holders? Really?



You have 10 days in North Carolina.......


57A .0404 Change of Name or Address
All trainees, licensees and certificate holders shall notify the Board in writing of each
change of business address, residence address, or trade name within ten days of said change.
The address shall be sufficiently descriptive to enable the Board to correspond with and
physically locate the trainee, licensee or certificate holder.

Introduction to Residency Under U.S. Tax Law

California Guidelines for Determining Resident Status

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2010/10_1031.pdf

Residency is primarily a question of fact determined
by examining all the circumstances of your particular
situation . This publication provides information to help you
determine the following:
• Whether you are a resident of California
• Whether your income is taxable by California

A resident is any individual who meets any of the
following:
• Present in California for other than a temporary or
transitory purpose .
• Domiciled in California, but outside California for a
temporary or transitory purpose . (See “Meaning of
Domicile’’ on page 9) .
A nonresident is any individual who is not a resident.

What on earth does any of that have to do informing a state appraisal board when your address changes?

Does OREA not require appraisers keep them informed of changes of address? Legal residency and your "address" are two very different issues. Too complex for a simple question of where you live.........as on your license application or renewal.

 

[CSP 49]

I am certified in two states and the ASC lists the multiple certifications. The state I'm located in lists my business address and my out of state certification provides my current home address. They both know where to find me.

Residency is where you claim you reside. Moving from one state to another does not necessarily change your residency nor your mailing address.

For example, if you are in the U.S. Army and you are stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky, you can maintain your residency in the state of California, have a valid California drivers license and insurance and even receive your mail in both places.

If you check OREA for example, you will see my mailing address at: http://www.orea.ca.gov/html/SearchAppraisers.asp

My driver's license has a different address.
