2026 AQB Criteria/Rule changes
The Commission will be implementing new/amended regulations to be compliant with the 2026 AQB Criteria changes. The biggest change will be for those individuals who are currently trainees. ALL trainees will be receiving a license with an expiration date of June 30, 2026. Trainees will be required to renew their license every two years (beginning in June 2026) and will be required to complete 28 hours of CE prior to renewal. Per the AQB, the Criteria applicable for all appraiser classifications includes the CE requirements. The renewal fee for trainees will be $25.00.
FAILURE of a trainee to renew the license within 90 days of expiration will result in the license being voided and the individual will have to reapply under the requirements at that time. Therefore, trainees need to be cognizant of these new requirements. If you are a supervisor, make sure you mention this to your trainee(s). If you are a trainee reading this, then make sure you contact the office if you have any questions.
There are also revisions to the regulations for those who are already licensed/certified or who are upgrading their license/certification. Again, these changes are being made to remain compliant with the AQB Criteria.
