Annual Renewal Period
The Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board annual renewal period opens October 1 of each year.
There are two ways to renew – online or by paper submission. To expedite the processing of your renewal and the issuance of your license, certificate, or registration, we recommend that you take advantage of the online renewal process. Online renewals are easy to complete and you can pay via credit card or ACH through our secure processing system. Visit the MyLREC Portal to begin the renewal process.
Renewal Period Deadlines
In order to be considered on time, renewals must be received or postmarked on or before December 31, 2024. Renewals completed after this date will be subject to the following delinquent fees:
- Timely Renewal Period: October 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024
- First Delinquent Renewal Period: January 1, 2025 - February 15, 2025 ($25 delinquent fee) ($150 delinquent fee for AMCs)
- Second Delinquent Renewal Period: February 16, 2025 - June 30, 2025 ($100 delinquent fee) ($300 delinquent fee for AMCs)
Due to an Appraisal Subcommittee requirement, the LREAB will be auditing the education records of all appraisers renewing their certification this year. All renewing appraisers must have earned 28 hours of continuing education credit, including the “7-hour USPAP Update” course, within the two-year renewal cycle. This education requirement must be completed to ensure timely renewal.
Courses completed to satisfy real estate license CE requirements will likely not count toward your appraisal CE requirement. It is mandatory for all renewing appraisers to send course completion certificates for all required education to the LREAB via email to appraiserCEaudit@lreab.gov or mail to 9071 Interline Avenue, Baton Rouge, LA 70809.
Be Sure to Update Your Contact Info
During the renewal period, the LREAB will use email communication to disseminate important renewal information regarding your license. Make sure your contact details are updated in your MyLREC Portal to avoid missing critical information.
