Texas Appraisal License Renewal
How to Renew Your Texas Appraisal License
Follow these steps to renew your Texas appraisal license. The following information is based on the minimum requirements set forth by the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB).
Step 1: Know Your Renewal Deadlines
Texas real estate appraisers must renew their licenses every 2 years. Check the expiration date printed on your license to confirm your renewal deadline. You may renew up to 90 days before the expiration date.
Step 2: Complete CE Requirements
Texas real estate appraisers must complete 28 hours of Board-approved continuing education every 2 years, including:
- 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course
- Valuation Bias & Fair Housing CE Course
- Board-approved CE course electives
Attention trainees and supervisors: In addition to the 28 hours, all appraiser trainees and their supervising appraisers must also complete a Board-approved Appraiser Trainee/Supervisory Appraiser (ATSA) course. Both trainees and supervisors will need to retake an ATSA course at least once every 4 years. Email your ATSA course completion certificate to [email protected].
Step 3: Apply for Renewal
Apply for license renewal either by mail or online using TALCB’s online licensing portal. You will need to pay a renewal fee and provide proof of CE course completion.
Important: Verify all CE requirements with the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. If you hold appraisal licenses in multiple states, please check each state’s requirements.
