Pursuant to Board Rule 7.9, the Division may AUDIT your compliance with the 42 hour CE requirement. Please be sure to complete 42 hours of continuing education prior to renewing your license in order to avoid additional fines, suspension, and possible revocation of your appraiser license. Also, when renewing your license, please verify your contact information and update accordingly. Additionally, all currently licensed appraisers who expire December 31, 2014 must submit a set of fingerprints to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations prior to renewal. Please review the instructions for submission of fingerprints for renewal details. An appraiser who fails to submit fingerprints in time for their renewal will not be allowed to renew their license until fingerprints are received, and may incur reinstatement penalty fees. Fingerprint process is currently taking 3 to 4 weeks. This is the only notice you will receive. A complete list of licensees included in this audit can be found on The Division of Real Estate website by clicking here. If you have any questions pertaining to the continuing education audit, please call 303-894-2359. Respectfully,
Colorado Division of Real Estate Board of Real Estate Appraisers
