Section 876IAC3-3-9. Experience requirements for three licenses issued by the board

   (a) This section and sections 10 through 13.2 of this rule establish the experience requirements for the licenses issued by the board except for the Indiana trainee appraiser license, which has no experience requirements.

  (b) At least fifty percent (50%) of the appraisals claimed for experience credit must have been performed during the sixty (60) months preceding the filing of the application.

  (c) Notwithstanding the five (5) year retention requirement of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, in order for an appraisal to qualify for experience credit regardless of when the appraisal was done, the applicant must have the appraisal report and file available for board review under subsection (d) or (e). Submission of appraisals that are not in substantial compliance with the version of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (as adopted in 876 IAC 3-6-2 and 876 IAC 3-6-3) in effect on the inspection date of the appraisal may result in the denial of the appraisal experience required for licensure as:

(1) a certified residential appraiser; and

(2) a certified general appraiser.

  (d) An applicant for certified residential appraiser shall submit, on a form prescribed by the board, two thousand five hundred (2,500) hours of appraisal experience that the applicant has performed. The experience must be obtained over a period of at least twenty-four (24) months before the filing of the application. The board may request documentation in the form of reports or file memoranda for any appraisal in support of the claim for experience.

  (e) An applicant for certified general appraiser shall submit, on a form prescribed by the board, three thousand (3,000) hours of appraisal experience that the applicant has performed over a period of not less than thirty (30) months. At least two thousand (2,000) hours must be in the general category. The board may request documentation in the form of reports or file memoranda for any appraisal in support of the claim for experience.
