Appraiser Certification Program

Frequently Asked Questions About Renewal

Do appraisers credentialed with the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation's Appraiser Certification Program need to renew their credential?

Yes. Credentials are renewed yearly. On even numbered years you must submit a renewal application and fee. On odd numbered years you must submit a renewal application, fee and proof of successful completion of required continuing education. See our Certification Renewal page for further information.

How do I renew my reciprocal credential?

Reciprocal licensees must renew yearly by submitting a general renewal application and fee. Continuing education is deferred upon demonstrating possession of a current appraiser credential and upon being in good standing in your home state. See our Certification Renewal and Continuing Education Requirements pages for further information.

How many hours of continuing education do I need?

In each odd-numbered year an applicant for renewal of a credential must document completion of the equivalent of 28 hours of instruction in approved courses or seminars during the preceding reporting period. A minimum of seven of the 28 hours of instruction must be completed prior to June 30 of each even-numbered year in the most current edition 7-hour National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) Update Course or its equivalent whose instructor is certified by the Appraiser Qualifications Board. A penalty fee of $100 will be charged if not completed by the deadline date. [For the 2018 renewal cycle the applicant must have completed the 2018-2019 7-hour National USPAP Update course between Jan. 1, 2018, and June 30, 2018.] (See our Continuing Education page.)
