What must an appraiser do if they change their business or residence address?

When an appraiser changes their business or residence address, they are required to notify the Director of the appraisal board within 30 days. This requirement exists to ensure that the regulatory body maintains accurate records of appraisers, which is crucial for accountability and communication. Timely notification helps prevent issues such as missed communications regarding licensing, updates in the field, or potential disciplinary actions.

While notifying clients, filing a new application, or updating social media accounts might seem relevant, they are not mandated by regulatory requirements. The most critical aspect is maintaining updated records with the regulatory authority to ensure compliance with state appraisal laws and standards.
