Texas Comptroller Manual of Accounts - Fiscal 2018
GR Account 0028 – GR Account - Appraiser Registry

Originally created under Occupations code 1103.156 to receive all registry fees collected by the Texas Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. Registry fees are to be established by the board and collected annually from each licensed or certified appraiser and appraisal management company. 

The Texas Real Estate Commission became a self-directed, semi-independent agency, and all funds were required to be held with Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company per S.B. 1000, 82nd Leg., R.S. effective 9-1-11.

However, S.B. 1516 and H.B. 3849, 85th Leg., R.S. reactivated this account and requires the deposit of the national registry fees, paid by appraisal management companies, to be deposited to this account.

Exempt from loss of dedication (§ 403.094, Government Code) due to federal requirements for separate accounting. 

Expanded to include appraisal management companies by H.B. 1146, 82nd Leg., R.S.
