June 14, 2018 call to action to all NC Appraisers During the last legislative session, House Bill H829 nearly unanimously passed the House 115 to 4
*The Bill is now stuck in the Senate Rules Committee.* The Rules Chair is Senator Bill Rabon 919-733-5963, Bill.Rabon@ncleg.net https://www.ncleg.net/representation/WhoRepresentsMe.aspx NCREAA is asking all appraisers to call and email both the Rules Chair and your Senator asking them to move and pass House Bill H829
Only if this bill becomes NC Law can the North Carolina Appraisal Board be granted the authority
It supports small businesses (in this case, appraisers) who are all NC tax paying businesses and residents - versus - Appraisal Management Companies / AMC's who are mostly large corporations based outside of our state. It protects consumers in line with federal laws.

G.S. 93E-2-4 reads as rewritten: "§ 93E-2-4. Qualifications for registration; duties of registrants. (i) For appraisal assignments of 1-4 family residential properties, an appraisal management company shall provide customary and reasonable compensation and offers of compensation to appraisers.

The Board shall adopt rules necessary to enforce this subsection." SECTION 2. G.S. 93E-2-2 reads as rewritten: "§ 93E-2-2. Definitions.

HISTORY OF THE C&R FEE LAW
The North Carolina Real Estate Appraiser Association (NCREAA) worked diligently for over a year with our legislators for the passage of the C&R Fee Law. NCREAA wishes to thank the North Carolina Association of Realtors, North Carolina Chapter of the Appraisal Institute, the North Carolina Professional Appraiser Coalition, NCREAA also networked and communicated with other state appraisal organizations across the country which have passed similar legislation in their states. This networking experience between state appraisal organizations is an invaluable tool in refining our legislative efforts here in North Carolina, and NCREAA is proud to participate in this nationwide collaborative effort to address appraiser issues in our individual states. |
