General Information About the Assessor |
back |
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 Assessor's budget and after a public
hearing acts on adoption of same. The Assessor is constrained by statute
to a levy limitation for the budget. The limit depends on the value of
the jurisdiction.
