This bill updates how Kentucky licenses and oversees real property appraisers. It replaces the existing Real Estate Appraisers Board with a newly structured, independent Real Property Appraisers Board, adds new member requirements and investigator qualifications, sets a one-year deadline for filing complaints, and raises application and renewal fees from $200 to $400. It also establishes clearer definitions and rules around who may perform appraisals and what continuing education is required. Who it may affect: licensed and certified real property appraisers, people buying or selling property, and property owners seeking to appeal their tax assessments.
