It shall be unlawful, unless certified or licensed by the board, for any person to:
(a) Assume or use any title, designation, or abbreviation likely to create the
impression that he or she holds a license or certificate issued by the
board;
(b) Describe or refer to any appraisal or evaluation of real estate by the term,
"state certified," "state licensed," or words of substantially similar
meaning; or
(c) Assume or use any title, designation, or abbreviation likely to create the
impression of certification or licensure by the state as a real estate
appraiser firm, partnership, or corporation.
A certificate holder or licensee shall not assume or use any title, designation,
or abbreviation likely to create the impression of certification or licensure by the
board other than the correct type of certification or licensure.
Each certificate holder or licensee who is a resident of Kentucky shall have and
maintain a definite place of business in this state, a current e-mail address, and
a current telephone number. A nonresident is not required to maintain an active
place of business in this state if a definite place of business is maintained in the
state where the nonresident resides. A nonresident shall maintain a current
e-mail address and a current telephone number.
Failure by a certificate holder or licensee to notify the board of any change of
business address, change of company name, change of surname, change of
phone number, or change of e-mail address within thirty (30) days of the
change shall result in a penalty not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200).
In the case of the death of a certificate holder or licensee, the board may, in its
sound discretion, permit a suitable individual to complete the affairs and
appraisal assignments of the deceased.
For any employee of the Transportation Cabinet whose job description
includes real estate appraisals which require certification, the Transportation
Cabinet shall bear the costs of initial application, examination, continued
education, and annual renewal.
(a) Those Transportation Cabinet employees serving as right-of-way agents
or supervisors, who actually perform on-site appraisals as part of their job
descriptions and who have obtained an appraiser certification under the
provisions of KRS 324A.010 to 324A.090, shall receive a five percent
(5%) salary increase effective January 1 following certification. Those
right-of-way agents or supervisors who received certification prior to
January 1, 1991, shall receive the salary increase effective January 1,
1991.
(b) The salary increases provided for in subsection (a) of this section shall be
made within existing Transportation Cabinet appropriations.
A person shall not provide appraisal, appraisal review, or appraisal consulting
assignments or perform any of the duties usually performed by a licensed or
certified real property appraiser for a federally related transaction unless the

issued and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
