Section 125-205-01 - General
Title 36 the Maine Revised Statutes at Sections 310-314 requires MRS to establish and maintain an ongoing program for certifying that an individual is qualified to perform the assessing function in this State. This includes an examination of an individual's applicable property tax law and techniques of assessing, as well as continuing education ("CE") and certificate renewal. The Property Tax Division of MRS administers knowledge of this program, including administration of all assessor training and certification activities. The Director of the Property Tax Division may appoint an individual to the position of Chief of Training and Certification, who will administer the certification and certification renewal processes on behalf of MRS.
For purposes of this rule, "assessing function" means duties related to the valuation of property, property tax administration, or the formation or implementation of property tax policy.
