What Arizona Appraiser Licensing Law Says
Here's what we're looking at: Arizona has a temporary licensing option for appraisers licensed in other states who want to do work here without getting an Arizona license. To qualify, you need to already be licensed somewhere else, you can't already be licensed in Arizona, and you need a signed letter from a client showing they've hired you for a specific Arizona appraisal job with a completion date set for no more than one year out—that's when the Director issues the temporary license.
Straight from Arizona Appraiser Licensing Law (ARS Title 32 Ch. 36 / AAC Title 4 Ch. 46) — nothing added.
