Chapter 339 Real Estate Agents, Brokers, Appraisers and Escrow Agents
Section 339.513. Applications for examinations, original certification, licensure and renewals, requirements, contents, fees, how set--fund established--signed compliance pledge, required.

339.513. 1. Applications for examination, original certification and licensure, and renewal certification and licensure shall be made in writing to the commission on forms provided by the commission. The application shall specify the classification of certification, or licensure, for which application is being made.

2. Appropriate fees shall accompany all applications for examination, original certification or licensure, and renewal certification or licensure; provided that such fees shall be in amounts set by the commission in order to offset the cost and expense of administering sections 339.500 to 339.549, and in amounts to be determined by the commission with reference to the requirements of Section 1109 of the United States Public Law 101-73, as later codified and as may be amended. All fees collected pursuant to this subsection shall be collected by the commission and deposited with the state treasurer into a fund to be known as the "Missouri Real Estate Appraisers Fund". The provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary notwithstanding, money in this fund shall not be transferred and placed to the credit of general revenue until the amount in the fund at the end of the biennium exceeds two times the amount of the appropriation from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year or, if the board requires by rule permit renewal less frequently than yearly, then three times the appropriation from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year. The amount, if any, in the fund which shall lapse is that amount in the fund which exceeds the appropriate multiple of the appropriations from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year. In any proceeding in which a remedy provided by subsection 1 or 2 of section 339.532 is imposed, the commission may also require the respondent licensee to pay the costs of the proceeding if the commission is a prevailing party or in settlement. The moneys shall be placed in the state treasury to the credit of the Missouri real estate appraisers fund.

3. At the time of filing an application for certification or licensure, each applicant shall sign a pledge to comply with the standards set forth in sections 339.500 to 339.549 and state that he or she understands the types of misconduct for which disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against a state-certified real estate appraiser or a state-licensed real estate appraiser.
