Licence Renewal Forms
Pre-populated application forms are available for download on the main details screen of RECA Online
All appraiser and candidate licences expire on September 30 each year. To remain authorized, all real estate appraisers and candidates must renew their licence on or before September 30. Appraiser and candidate industry members are responsible for using the RECA Online system to renew their licence on or before the September 30 deadline.
Each August, all real estate appraisal industry members receive a renewal package from RECA that is sent by email to the email address that is on file with RECAl. The package includes detailed instructions on how to process renewals online using the RECA Online system and any other relevant information.
Using RECA Online, real estate appraisers and candidates can print an auto-populated licence application form. The auto-populated form includes the industry member’s personal and business affiliation information as it is on file in RECA’s licensing database. The industry member is to review this information and verify it is complete and update any information that is not correct, including the industry member’s email address. Industry member email addresses are very important to keep updated as this is RECA’s primary method of communication with industry members.
Industry members must truthfully answer the questions in section D of the application form. At the time of renewal, the questions are limited to the timeframe since the applicant’s last date of application. The industry member must then complete the affidavit section of the application before a commissionaire, notary or lawyer, before processing their renewal using the RECA Online licensing system.
If an appraiser or candidate has an affirmative response to a question in section D, he or she is required to provide additional information to RECA with respect to the issue at hand. In this case, the appraiser or candidate cannot process their renewal using RECA Online.
Industry members are required to immediately report any changes to their personal or business affiliation information. Changes to their personal contact information can be updated through the online renewal process.
NOTE: in some years, appraisers and candidates are required to complete education as part of RECA’s Re-licensing Education Program prior to renewing their licence. More information about REP is available here.
Annual licensing fees are set by Council at its summer budget meeting and are posted on the RECA website as soon as they are approved. For a current fee schedule, please click here. |
