How to Renew Your South Carolina Appraisal License
Here’s an overview of the steps to renew your South Carolina appraisal license. The following information is based on the minimum requirements set forth by the South Carolina Real Estate Appraisers Board.
Step 1: Know Your Renewal Deadlines
In South Carolina, appraiser licenses expire on June 30 of even-numbered years. Please note that your continuing education is due by June 1 to ensure your license renewal is processed in time.
According to Rule 137–500.01 in the South Carolina Appraiser Regulations, “The Board cannot guarantee that a renewal will be processed prior to the expiration date of June 30 if forms are received after June 1.”
Step 2: Complete CE Requirements
South Carolina 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 Apprentices: If you were licensed since July 1 of the year prior to renewal, you will only need 14 hours of CE to renew.
Step 3: Apply for Renewal
Apply for license renewal using the South Carolina Real Estate Appraisers Board’s online licensing portal. All continuing education must be in your CE Broker account prior to renewing. Also, you will need to pay a license renewal fee. Late fees may apply.
Important: Verify all CE requirements with the South Carolina Real Estate Appraisers Board. If you hold appraisal licenses in multiple states, please make sure to check each state’s requirements.
