Chapter 19.--COUNTIES AND COUNTY OFFICERS Article 4.--COUNTY APPRAISER

      19-432.   Same; list of persons eligible for appointment; qualifications; training courses; continuing education required to retain certified status. The director of property valuation shall maintain a current list of persons eligible to be appointed to the office of appraiser. Periodic issuance of this list shall constitute the official list of eligible Kansas appraisers who are candidates for appointment. Inclusion on this list shall be made dependent upon successful completion of a written examination as adopted and administered by the director.

      The director of property valuation shall be required to conduct training courses annually for the purpose of training appraisal candidates. These courses shall be designed to prepare students to successfully complete the written examinations required for eligible Kansas appraiser status.

      Once certified, an eligible Kansas appraiser may retain that status only through successful completion of additional appraisal courses at intervals as determined by the director of property valuation. The director shall be required to conduct training courses annually for the purpose of providing the additional curriculum required for retention of Kansas appraiser status. The director may accept recognized appraisal courses as an alternative to courses conducted by the director's office to fulfill this requirement for the maintenance of eligible Kansas appraiser status.
