R.C.S.A. § 20-504-3
Licensure or certification categories and scope of practice
Cite as Conn. Agencies Regs. § 20-504-3
(a) The following categories of appraiser licensure or certification are established:
(1) State certified general appraiser;
(2) State certified residential appraiser; and
(3) State provisional appraiser.
(b) No person shall act as a state certified general appraiser, state certified residential
appraiser, or as a state provisional appraiser unless the person meets the requirements
for that category of licensure or certification as established in chapter 400g of
the Connecticut General Statutes and sections 20-504-1 to 20-504-12, inclusive, of
the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(c) No certified or provisional appraiser shall perform appraisal work that is beyond
the scope of practice for such appraiser's category of licensure or certification
except as provided under subsection (d) of this section. The scope of practice for
each category is as follows:
(1) The state certified general appraiser scope of appraisal practice includes the appraisal
of all types of real estate, without regard to transaction value, for all types of
transactions including federally related transactions.
(2) The state certified residential appraiser scope of appraisal practice includes the
appraisal of all residential real estate, without regard to transaction value, for
all types of transactions including federally related transactions.
(3) The state provisional appraiser scope of appraisal practice includes the appraisal
of real estate while under the direct supervision of a certified appraiser for the
types of property and in the types of transactions the supervising appraiser is permitted
to appraise. The purpose for this category is to provide an entry level that will
allow appraisers to develop the appraisal experience needed to qualify for a category
of certified appraiser.
(d) When two or more appraisers work together, each taking responsibility for the appraisal
services provided, including the signing of any resulting appraisal, appraisal review
or appraisal consulting reports, the scope of appraisal practice includes all types
of real estate and transactions available under the collective categories of licensure
or certification held.
(e) Any person licensed under Chapter 392 of the Connecticut General Statutes as a real
estate broker or a real estate salesman may estimate the value of real estate as part
of a market analysis performed for the purpose of a prospective listing or sale of
such real estate or any other purpose permitted under section 20-526 of the Connecticut
General Statutes, without being a certified or provisional licensed appraiser, provided
the estimate shall not be referred to or construed as an appraisal. Any real estate
broker or salesman charging a fee or other valuable consideration, separate from any
fees or sales commissions or potential sales commissions to be earned in connection
with the listing or sale of real estate, for providing an estimate of value of such
real estate, except as permitted under section 20-526 of the Connecticut General Statutes,
shall be construed as engaging in the real estate appraisal business.
