Information
about the Assessor:
Assessors are appointed to their position
by a Conference Board consisting of the members of the Board of
Supervisors, the Mayors of all incorporated cities, and a member
from each school district within the jurisdiction. A city with a
population of ten thousand or more may elect to have their own assessor.
Assessors are required by statute
to pass a state examination and complete a Continuing Education
Program consisting of 150 hours of formal classroom instruction
with 90 hours tested and a passing grade of 70% attained. The latter
requirement must be met in order for the Assessor to be reappointed
to the position every six years.
The Deputy Assessor also must pass
a state examination as well as successfully complete 90 hours of
classroom instruction of which at least 60 hours are tested.
The Conference Board approves the AssessorŐs
budget and after a public hearing acts on adoption of it. The Assessor
is constrained by statute to a levy limitation for the budget. The
limit depends on the value of the jurisdiction.
