(a) Contact Information. For purposes of conducting business with the Board and receiving correspondence, service of documents, or notices from the Board, each applicant or license holder must provide the Board with the following contact information for its primary contact and appraiser contact:
(1) mailing address;
(2) phone number; and
(3) email address.
(b) Designation of additional controlling persons.
(1) An applicant or license holder may designate additional controlling persons:
(2) An applicant or license holder must notify the Board within 10 days if a person designated as an additional controlling person ceases to serve in that role.
(c) An applicant or license holder must give the Board written notice of any change to the contact information for its primary contact, appraiser contact, or additional controlling persons, if any, within 10 days of the change.
(d) If a license holder's primary contact or appraiser contact changes, the license holder must give the Board written notice of the change, including all information required by this section and §1104.103(b)(4) and (6) of the AMC Act, and, if appropriate, documentation that the person is qualified to serve under §1104.104(b) of the AMC Act, within 10 days of the change.
(e) A license holder must give the Board written notice within 10 days if its primary contact or appraiser contact ceases to serve in that role and a qualified replacement is not immediately named. If a license holder's primary contact or appraiser contact ceases to serve in that role and the license holder does not give the Board written notice of a replacement, the license holder will be placed on inactive status.
(f) A primary contact who assumes that role during the term of the registration must provide the Board written consent to a criminal history background check, as required by §1104.102 of the AMC Act. If the person does not satisfy the Board's moral character requirements, the Board will remove the person from its records and the license holder will be placed on inactive status. Such a decision by the Board may be reviewed and reconsidered by the Executive Director if the license holder submits a written request for reconsideration within 10 days of notice that the person does not qualify to serve as primary contact. The license holder will remain on inactive status while the request for reconsideration is pending.
(g) The appraiser contact must hold an active, current license issued by an appraiser regulatory agency within the jurisdiction of the Appraisal Subcommittee.
(h) The Board will send all correspondence and serve all required notices and documents by sending such items to the mailing or email address of the applicant's or license holder's primary contact as shown in the Board's records.
(i) If an applicant or license holder fails to update the contact information for its primary contact, appraiser contact, or additional controlling persons, if any, the contact information for these individuals is the last known contact information provided to the Board and shown in the Board's records.
