Notice of Effective Date for New Rules for
Tennessee Real Estate Appraiser Commission
Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession.
The Tennessee Real Estate Appraiser Commission (“the Commission”) approved the proposed rules at the rulemaking hearing conducted on January 21, 2021. The rules were filed with the Secretary of State on May 7, 2021 and will become effective August 5, 2021. The rules have been filed as Rulemaking Hearing Rules and will be promulgated ninety (90) days from the filing date.
The proposed rules amend the requirements for qualifying education (“QE”). Presently, licensees are only able to take seventy-five (75) hours of QE via distance education. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the increased usage and requirement of technology in a mostly remote environment, the Commission intends to amend the rules to allow licensees to take all QE classes via distance education. The education provisions for state licensed, certified residential, and certified general real estate appraisers have been updated to reflect this change. Lastly, an additional paragraph was added to the general provisions for course guidelines to reflect the Appraisal Qualifications Board’s (“AQB”) standards for QE distance education courses.
