South Dakota Appraiser Certification Program
Notice of Public Hearing to Adopt Rules
A public hearing will be held via Microsoft Teams, on May 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, to consider the adoption and amendment of proposed Administrative Rules of South Dakota numbered:
§§ 20:14:13:01.01, 20:14:13:03.01, 20:14:13:06, 20:14:13:07, 20:77:03:01, and 20:77:03:06.
The effect of the proposed rules will be that appraisers certified by reciprocity will be sub-ject to the continuing education requirements, allow for the approval of the 8-hour valua-tion bias and fair housing course as qualifying education, align course approval terms to the relevant delivery mechanism certification, allow flexibility for approval of seminar-type continuing education courses, clarify what types of discipline owners of appraisal management companies (AMCs) are required to disclose on an AMC application, and clari-fy change of ownership obligations for AMCs.
The reasons for adopting the proposed rules are to ensure compliance with applicable fed-eral standards and clarify existing rules.
Persons interested in presenting amendments, data, opinions, and arguments for or against the proposed rules may appear via Microsoft Teams at the hearing, or mail or e-mail them to South Dakota Appraiser Certification Program, 217 W.
