How to Renew Your South Dakota Appraisal License
Here’s a quick look at the steps to renew your South Dakota appraisal license. The following information is based on the minimum requirements set forth by the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation.
Step 1: Know Your Renewal Deadlines
In South Dakota, appraisal licenses expire annually on September 30. Renewal applications are due each year by August 17.
Continuing education is due every 2 years (every other renewal period) and must be completed by August 17 of odd-numbered years. However, please note that the most recent 7-hour USPAP Update Course must be completed by June 30 of even-numbered years.
Step 2: Complete CE Requirements
South Dakota real estate appraisers must complete 28 hours of state-approved continuing education every 2 years, including:
- 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course
- Valuation Bias & Fair Housing CE Course
- State-approved CE course electives
Attention first-time applicants only: If your initial license was issued on or after October 1 of the previous even-numbered year and prior to April 1 of the current odd-numbered year, you must complete 14 hours of CE for that renewal cycle.
Step 3: Apply for Renewal
Apply for license renewal using the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation’s online licensing portal. You must pay a renewal fee with your application. During odd-numbered years, you will need to provide CE course completion certificates.
Important: Verify all CE requirements with the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation. If you hold appraisal licenses in multiple states, be sure to check each state’s requirements.
