Real Estate Appraisal Professional Services for 4th Quarter of Fiscal Year 2012 (June 1, 2012 through Aug. 31, 2012)

Opportunity to make application to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to be pre-certified in order to be eligible to provide professional real estate appraisal services. According to the National Registry of State Certified and licensed appraisers, you hold an active license as a General Real Estate Appraiser Certified by the TALCB. In Texas, the profession of real property appraising is governed as a professional service under Texas Government Code, Title 10, Chapter 2254, Subchapter A.

The Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Title 43, Chapter 9, Subchapter F, provides rules for contracting for real estate appraisal services. These rules require that in order for TxDOT to contract for professional real property appraisal services, the appraiser must be pre-certified by TxDOT. In order to be added to the list of pre-certified real estate appraisers follow these instructions:

Select Form No. A1 â€œApplication for Pre-Certification as a Professional Real Estate Appraiserâ€ found online.

Print the form, complete the information and mail it to the address on the letterhead. TxDOT staff will review the application and respond to you as whether you have met the requirements.

The opportunity to submit an application for pre-certification will remain open permanently. The pre-certification process is not an award of a contract nor is it a guarantee of work, but you must be included on the pre-certification list to be eligible to respond to TxDOT solicitations for Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional real estate appraisal services as required under procedures outlined in the aforementioned TAC, Title 43, Chapter 9, Subchapter F.

TxDOT is expecting to publish a statewide RFP specific to appraisal services in the very near future, but you must be an approved TxDOT pre-certified real estate appraiser in order to be eligible for consideration under the RFP process. Prior TxDOT pre-certification does not qualify. For questions relating to the pre-certification process send an email.
