61J1-4.007Renewal of Inactive Registrations, Licenses and Certifications

The Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance, filed on March 6, 2014, by Karen Golembeski. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 40, No. 53, of the March 18, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of paragraph 61J1-4.007(6)(c), F.A.C., which requires that an applicant with an inactive license status must complete 100 hours of approved pre-certification courses, 30 hours of ABII with an end-of-course exam, 60 hours of Appraisal Board Course III (ABIII) with-end-of-course exam and a 7 hour USPAP update in order for an applicant to return to an active status.

The Board’s Order, filed on April 25, 2014, denied the petition finding that the petition was in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 28-104, Florida Administrative Code. Petitioner has not established that the Board’s full application of paragraph 61J1-4.007(6)(c), F.A.C., to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness nor shown a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Juana Watkins, Acting Division Director, Division of Real Estate, 400 West Robinson Street, Hurston Building, North Tower, Suite N801, Orlando, Florida 32801.
