475.6221  Employment of registered assistant real estate appraisers.--

(1)  A registered assistant real estate appraiser must perform appraisal services under the supervision of a licensed or certified appraiser who is designated as the primary supervisor. The primary supervisor may also designate additional licensed or certified appraisers as secondary supervisors. A secondary supervisor must be affiliated with the same firm or business as the primary supervisor and the primary or secondary supervisor must have the same business address as the registered assistant real estate appraiser. A registered assistant real estate appraiser must notify the Division of Real Estate of the name and address of any primary and secondary supervisor for whom the registered assistant will perform appraisal services, and must also notify the division within 10 days after terminating such relationship. Termination of the relationship with a primary supervisor automatically terminates the relationship with the secondary supervisor.

(2)  A registered assistant real estate appraiser may not receive payment directly from the recipient of an appraisal report, unless the primary supervising licensed or certified appraiser agrees to the payment arrangement.
