Training – Property Tax Authorities

Property Tax Authorities Self-Study Training Session

The Property Tax Department has developed a self-study training session designed to provide information on the hierarchy of property tax authorities in California. Completion of the reading assignment and correctly answering at least 80 percent of the review questions will qualify for 1 hour of training credit as required by Revenue and Taxation Code section 671 for certified appraisers, and section 675 for certified assessment analysts, who are employees of the state, any county, or city and county.

This training cannot be used to attain an advanced certificate, but it can be used for the annual training requirements for an appraiser or auditor-appraiser holding a temporary, permanent, or advanced certificate.

This training session is included in the advanced course of study for a certified assessment analyst and can be used to attain an advanced assessment analyst certificate.

Self-study training sessions may be repeated for appraisal training credit hours if at least five years have passed since a student previously completed the session and received training credit hours.

Individuals completing the training session may send questions to appraiser.training@boe.ca.gov or call 1-916-274-3350.
