Board of Equalization Member Training for 2019

Dear Commissioners of the Revenue and Real Estate Assessors:

As we approach 2019, those localities with reassessments will be forming new Boards of Equalization. In order to be eligible for appointment, new Board members are required to participate in a basic course of instruction provided by the Department of Taxation. Returning members are required to take our instruction at least once in every four years of service.

Please let me know as soon as possible if your locality has a reassessment effective for tax year 2019, and if your Board members will require the mandated training.

The training begins with Board members studying the attached Manual. The Manual provides an overview of the assessment process, the role of the Board, the role of the Department of Taxation, and a brief discussion of Conflict of Interest and Freedom of Information statutes. An Appendix with information useful to a Board of Equalization is also included.

Please let me know as soon as possible if your locality has a reassessment effective for tax year 2019, and if your Board members will require the mandated training.

Where possible we offer training remotely. That is, we will connect with your office over the internet and the phone line. You will not be charged for the phone connection. An instructor from the Department will review material from the Manual with Board members, and will answer questions. The training utilizes the material from the Manual, and requires that your offices have reliable internet connectivity. It is recommended that Board members meet in your office, and that speaker phone(s), and a projector that can be connected to a computer with internet access be utilized for the presentation. Requests for onsite training will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

As early as possible, I ask that you distribute the Manual to Board members, and contact me to schedule a training session.
