Plain English

Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 189 § 189.13 establishes the timeline and process for obtaining and renewing a Licensed Evaluator credential under the city's Truth-in-Sale of Housing program. A candidate who passes the qualifying examination has exactly 365 consecutive days to complete the full licensing procedure; missing that window means starting over with a new application and exam. Renewal follows the procedures set out in § 189.10, and the Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board has authority to grant exemptions from these requirements in appropriate circumstances.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers in Saint Paul who rely on Licensed Evaluators for Truth-in-Sale of Housing disclosures should be aware that § 189.13 governs how evaluators obtain and maintain their credentials. A compliant operator generally confirms that any evaluator they engage holds a current, valid license—one obtained within the 365-day eligibility window following the exam—and has completed renewal under § 189.10. Operators who use evaluators whose licenses have lapsed due to a missed deadline may face complications with required housing disclosures.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Saint Paul's § 189.13 is relevant to tenants because the Truth-in-Sale of Housing program is designed to ensure that property evaluations are conducted by properly credentialed professionals. Tenants can verify that an evaluator involved in a transaction holds a valid license obtained within the required 365-day window and renewed per § 189.10. If there are concerns about an evaluator's credentials, the Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board is the body with authority over exemptions and licensing standards, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain how this program affects housing transactions.
