Board Updates: Please Read

September 1, 2020

The Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers currently has three vacancies and is unable to conduct business until at least one position is filled. This will result in application delays for most license types. We do not have an estimated timeframe for resuming application review.

If you would like to apply for appointment to one of these positions, please visit the application site. Prior to applying, you may wish to read more about the roles and responsibilities of Alaska’s volunteer licensing board members and division processes and authority on our board resources page.

During the time when the board is unable to achieve a quorum, licensed appraisers may continue to operate as usual. The Appraisal Subcommittee authorized by the U. S. Congress to provide oversight of this program has emphasized that there are no restrictions on appraisers or concerns about Alaska’s compliance with federal requirements simply due to vacancies on the board. If you have concerns about program operations during this time, email realestateappraisers@alaska.gov.
