3 Common Penalties for Late Renewal
- Late Fee: The most frequent consequence of late renewal is a late fee. The amount of this fee can differ depending on the region. Generally, a certain fee is charged for the initial period following the deadline, which may increase for each subsequent day or period of delay.
- Suspension of License: Another potential repercussion is the suspension of the license. If an appraiser does not renew their license by the due date, it may be suspended. The duration of this suspension varies, with some jurisdictions implementing a suspension period that can be as long as a year.
- Reapplication Requirement: In certain situations, appraisers might be required to completely reapply for their license if they do not renew it by the deadline. This process can be both time-consuming and costly, often involving a new application fee and possibly additional requirements like a new background check.
