Welcome to the Kentucky Real Estate Appraisers Board website. We are charged with protecting the public interest through regulation, examination and licensing of Kentucky real estate appraisers and the registration of Appraisal Management Companies pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes, Chapter 324A.
We approve and monitor pre-licensing and certification education, experience and testing, as well as approve and monitor continuing education for real estate appraisers.
The Kentucky Real Estate Appraisers Board also investigates complaints against real estate appraisers and Appraisal Management Companies.
