Pursuant to Ohio House Bill 238, the term lengths for Ohio appraiser credentials, which are subject to renewal, will be increasing from one year to two years starting on April 9, 2025. This change affects all existing Ohio appraiser licenses, certificates, and registrations.
Eligibility for converting an Ohio appraiser credential to a two-year term is dependent upon the credential's current expiration date in the Division's records. Please visit the Division’s website, (HB 238 - Appraiser Renewals), which describes in greater detail how the division will be implementing this changed.
Below is a summary regarding implementation of this change.
- Appraisers with a current credential expiration date of April 8, 2025 or earlier will file with the Division an annual renewal application in 2025 and will be eligible for a two-year term with their subsequent renewal application.
- Appraisers with a current credential expiration date of April 9, 2025 or later may submit to the Division a two-year renewal application for their current year renewal filing.
