Appraisal Licensing and Appraiser Practice Regulation
Appraisal Practice in Texas is regulated by The Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board (TALCB).
TALCB was created by an act of the Texas Legislature in 1991 to license, certify and regulate real estate appraisers in Texas under state and federal laws.
The TALCB regulates five classifications of appraiser certification and licensure:
- Certified General Real Estate Appraiser
- Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser
- State Licensed Real Estate Appraiser
- Provisional Licensed Real Estate Appraiser
- Appraiser Trainee (required to work under the sponsorship and supervision of a state certified appraiser).
Please visit the website for TALCB for more detailed information on appraiser licensing.
Education Requirements for Real Estate Appraisers
Minimum Appraiser educational requirements are established by the Appraisal Qualifications Board, an arm of the Appraisal Foundation.
