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. Please see the following link (HB 238 - Appraiser Renewals) to the Division’s website, which describes in greater detail how the Division will be implementing this statutory change.
Applicants who are seeking to obtain a new Ohio appraiser license, certificate, or registration are also affected by this change. Any person who is issued a new Ohio appraiser credential on April 8, 2025, or earlier, will initially receive a credential valid for one year and will be eligible to receive a credential with a two-year term starting in 2026. For those applicants who receive a new Ohio appraiser credential on or after April 9, 2025, they will receive a credential with a two-year term upon initial issuance.
