All trainees, licensed residential, certified residential, and certified general appraisers are required to complete 28 hours of CE by May 31, 2025, to renew on time. Seven of the 28 hours must be the 2024-2025 7-Hour National USPAP Update. Hours that exceed the requirement do not carry over into the next CE cycle.

All registrations, licenses and certificates expire on June 30, 2025, and must be renewed before this date to maintain an active status. If you do not renew by June 30, 2025, your registration, license, or certificate will expire. Any person who acts as a trainee, licensed, or certified real estate appraiser while expired shall be subject to disciplinary action and penalties as prescribed by the NC Appraiser’s Act.

If you have met the CE requirements to renew this year, you may renew online between May 1, 2025 – June 30, 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I took the 2024-2025 USPAP Update last year. Do I need to take it again?
  No. The current CE cycle runs from June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2025.
• What if I don’t complete the CE requirements by May 31, 2025?
  If you complete your courses after May 31, 2025, your registration, license, or certification will expire and you would not be able to renew until July 1, 2025, or until such time as your continuing education is reported to the Board. You will be required to pay the $10 per month late fee. A trainee, licensed, or certified appraiser may no longer perform any appraisal work while their license is not active.
• I took qualifying education courses to upgrade my license. Can I receive CE credit?
  Yes, however, you must email your course completion certificate(s) to [email protected] with a request to apply those hours towards your CE requirement. Be sure to allow ample processing time.
