HB 3250 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation of real estate appraisers and appraisal management companies.

HB 3250 establishes a stipend program to support real estate appraiser trainees, license seekers, and certified appraisers serving public purposes like increasing trained professionals and boosting economic development in Texas. It requires appraisers to notify the board of address changes within 10 days and updates rules for controlling persons of appraisal management companies, mandating active licensing or specific training and barring those with revoked licenses (unless reinstated). The stipend program can only be funded by gifts, grants, or donations under existing law. This bill directly affects appraiser trainees, licensed appraisers, and appraisal management companies operating in Texas.
