How to Complete the Continuing Education to Renew Your California Real Estate Appraiser’s License

Real Estate Appraiser Renewal Requirements California

  • Continuing Education: In California, licensed real estate appraisers are required to complete 56 hours of continuing education every four years. This includes a mandatory 7-hour National USPAP Update Course and a 4-hour Federal and State Laws and Regulations course. California allows for a portion of these continuing education hours to be completed through online courses.
  • Background Check: California requires a background check for initial licensure. For renewal, appraisers who have already completed a background check and fingerprinting may not need to repeat this process, unless there have been changes to their criminal history.
  • Renewal Fee: The renewal fee for real estate appraisers in California varies based on the type of license. As of the last update, it ranges from $300 to $550. Always refer to the California Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA) for the most current fee information.
  • Renewal Application Process: In California, appraisers can renew their licenses online through the BREA’s website, where detailed instructions and requirements for renewal are provided.

3 Common Penalties for Late Renewal

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Helpful Tips for the Appraiser License Renewal

  • Begin your continuing education process well in advance. Avoid procrastinating, as starting early allows ample time to select suitable courses and complete them before the deadline.
  • Maintain an organized record of your continuing education credits. This ensures you are aware of how many credits you still need to fulfill your requirements.
  • Utilize online courses for your continuing education. These courses offer a convenient option, enabling you to complete them at your own pace and in the comfort of your home.
  • Seek assistance when needed. If you encounter difficulties in locating continuing education courses or fulfilling your requirements, reach out to the regulatory body overseeing real estate education or a provider of continuing education courses for guidance.
