How to Renew Your New York Appraisal License
Here are the basic steps to renew your New York appraisal license. The following information is based on the minimum requirements set forth by the New York Department of State.
Step 1: Know Your Renewal Deadlines
In New York State, the term of licensure is 2 years for all real estate appraisers. You are eligible to renew your license 90 days prior to the expiration date printed on your license.
Step 2: Complete CE Requirements
New York 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
Late renewals: If you renew 185 days after the expiration date of your license, you must complete an additional 14 hours of approved CE for each year that has lapsed.
Step 3: Apply for Renewal
You may renew your license either by mail or online, if you meet the conditions for online license renewal. Fees may apply.
You should receive a renewal form in the mail about 90 days before your license expiration date. If you’re eligible for renewal and have not received the form, contact the Division of Licensing Services.
Important: Verify all CE requirements with the New York Department of State. If you hold appraisal licenses in multiple states, please be sure to check each state’s requirements.
