Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 1301:16-1-06 | Applications for appraisal management company license.

                                                
(A) An applicant for an initial or a
		  renewal of an Ohio appraisal management company license may obtain an Ohio
		  appraisal management company license provided the following, including but not
		  limited to, are satisfied:
(1) The applicant
			 completes an application form prescribed by the superintendent to be a licensed
			 appraisal management company in Ohio; 
(2) Payment of
			 appropriate fees required by rule 1301:16-1-04 of the Administrative Code; and
			 
(3) On behalf of the
			 appraisal management company, the applicant consents to service of process by
			 means of delivering that process to the companys last known address with
			 the division of real estate and professional licensing by registered mail,
			 return receipt requested. A copy of the service of process shall be delivered
			 to the companys controlling person by registered mail, return receipt
			 requested.
(B) When any notice sent by registered
		  mail is returned because the person fails to claim the notice, the division
		  shall send the notice by ordinary mail to the person at the companys
		  last known address and shall obtain a certificate of mailing. Service by
		  ordinary mail is complete when the certificate of mailing is obtained unless
		  the notice is returned showing failure of delivery.
If any notice sent by registered or ordinary mail
		  is returned for failure of delivery, the division shall either make personal
		  delivery of the notice by an employee or agent of the division or shall cause a
		  summary of the substantive provisions of the notice to be published once a week
		  for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county
		  where the last known address of the company is located. When notice is given by
		  publication, a proof of publication affidavit, with the first publication of
		  the notice set forth in the affidavit, shall be mailed by ordinary mail to the
		  person at the person's last known address and the notice shall be deemed
		  received as of the date of the last publication. An employee or agent of the
		  agency may make personal delivery of the notice upon a person at any
		  time.
Refusal of delivery by personal service or by
		  mail is not failure of delivery and service is deemed to be complete. Failure
		  of delivery occurs only when a mailed notice is returned by the postal
		  authorities marked undeliverable, address or addressee unknown, or forwarding
		  address unknown or expired. A companys last known address is the mailing
		  address of the person appearing in the records of the division.
(C) The signature on any application may
		  be written by hand or be an electronic signature, as defined by division (H) of
		  section 1306.01 of the Revised Code. 
(D) Upon notice from the division that an
		  application for initial licensure is incomplete or incorrect as filed, the
		  applicant shall within thirty days of the date of the last such notice submit
		  to the division a corrected application or the additional information
		  requested. Failure to timely submit such corrected application or additional
		  information shall constitute just cause for the superintendent to impose a
		  forfeiture of the application fee pursuant to section 4768.06 of the Revised
		  Code. 
(E) If the application fee check or draft
		  instrument remitted by an applicant for licensure is returned to the division
		  unpaid for any reason, that application shall be automatically rejected or
		  approval withdrawn.
