Bill > HB2516

This bill modifies the qualifications for individuals serving as county appraisers, who are responsible for assessing property values for tax purposes. It establishes two categories of appraisers: "regular appraisers" who meet specific certification requirements, such as being a certified general real property appraiser or a registered mass appraiser, and "provisional appraisers" who can be appointed to serve as county appraisers for up to two years while completing a required course of study. The bill outlines the process for certifying regular appraisers and clarifies that those provisionally appointed must complete a course prescribed by the director of property valuation within their first two years to become certified regular appraisers and remain in their role. It also updates the requirements for appraisal courses and continuing education, specifying that after July 1, 2026, these courses must be developed by the director of property valuation or approved by the Kansas real estate appraisal board.
