21 NCAC 57A .0210         TEMPORARY PRACTICE

(a)  A real estate appraiser who does not reside in North Carolina and who is licensed or certified by the appraiser licensing or certifying agency in another state may apply to receive temporary appraiser licensing or certification privileges in this State by filing an application with the Board. The application is available on the Board's website at www.ncappraisalboard.org. The application shall include:

(1)           the applicant's name, address, phone number, email;

(2)           license or certification number currently held in another state;

(3)           whether the applicant has had any disciplinary actions taken against them in connection with any appraiser, real estate, or other professional license held;

(4)           whether the applicant has ever been convicted of any criminal offense or has any criminal charges pending;

(5)           the projected beginning and ending date of the appraisal assignment;

(6)           a legal description of the subject properties and purpose of the appraisal assignment; and

(7)           the signature of the applicant.

(b)  Upon filing a completed application accompanied by the fee prescribed in G.S. 93E-1-9(c), the Board shall consider whether an applicant's appraiser license or certification is or has been subject to discipline in their resident state or any other state, and shall consider all other information outlined in Rule .0202 of this Section, in determining whether to approve an application. If the application is approved, an applicant shall be granted a temporary practice permit by the Board authorizing the applicant to perform in this State the appraisal assignment described in the application, provided that the Board determines that the length of time projected by the applicant for completion of the assignment is reasonable given the scope and complexity of the assignment.

(c)  Privileges granted under the provisions of this Rule shall expire upon the expiration date set forth in the temporary practice permit. If additional time is needed to complete the appraisal assignment, the permittee may request an extension of the temporary practice permit. The request shall be submitted and received by the Board prior to the expiration of the original practice permit, shall be in writing, and shall include the following:

(1)           temporary practice permit number;

(2)           the amount of additional time needed to complete the assignment; and

(3)           the reason the extension is necessary.

Upon receipt of the request, the Board shall extend the temporary practice privileges if it determines that additional time is needed to complete the assignment.

(d)  An applicant for a temporary practice permit shall not begin performing any appraisal work in this State until the temporary practice permit has been issued by the Board. The Board shall deny an applicant who begins work before the permit is issued.

(e)  Persons granted temporary practice privileges under this Rule shall only advertise or otherwise hold themselves out as being a North Carolina licensed or certified appraiser for the assignment for which they received the temporary practice permit. Any appraisal report for an appraisal of property located in North Carolina shall contain a copy of the temporary practice permit number for that assignment.

(f)  A trainee shall not apply for a temporary practice permit. The term "trainee" shall include apprentices and others who are licensed and regulated by a state agency to perform real estate appraisals under the supervision of a certified appraiser. If a trainee not registered in this State inspects a property located in this State, the trainee shall be accompanied by the trainee's supervising appraiser. The trainee's supervisor shall be a North Carolina certified real estate appraiser. If not, the supervising appraiser shall be certified as a real estate appraiser in another state and shall receive a temporary practice permit for the assignment.
