Trainees Have New Options for What Counts Toward Appraisal Experience
Submitted by Summer Mandell on Wed, 2022-01-19 16:58The Appraiser Qualification Board (AQB) now allows applicants to gain 100% of experience credit by completing appraisal assignments that do not have a traditional client. Effective January 1, 2022, this change means a trainee can complete an appraisal for the intended use of gaining experience credit. For example, an aspiring appraiser could complete appraisals on their home, a family member’s home, or a neighbor’s home solely for the purpose of gaining experience credit.

Submitted by Christine Anderson on Fri, 2018-04-20 10:13The mission and performance of the Texas Real Estate Commission and Texas Appraiser Licensing & Certification Board are under review by the Legislature as required under the Texas Sunset Act. The Act provides that the Sunset Commission, composed of legislators and public members, periodically evaluate a state agency to determine if the agency is still needed and to explore ways to ensure that the agency's funds are well spent. Based on the recommendations of the Sunset Commission, the Texas Legislature ultimately decides whether an agency continues to operate into the future.
