San Rafael, CA – The application deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, November 29, for candidates with expertise in real estate, accounting, law, or property appraisal to fill a vacancy on the Marin County Assessment Appeals Boards.
Appointed by the Marin County Board of Supervisors, members of the Assessment Appeals Boards hear appeals by property owners regarding value assessments by the County Assessor’s Office. There are two Appeals Boards, each with three members, and appeals are heard alternately by the two boards.
In recent years, the caseload of the state-mandated Assessment Appeals Board has necessitated hearings about every four weeks, but the commitment may include additional meetings. Board members are paid a stipend per meeting.
Candidates must have a minimum of five years of professional experience in California as one of the following:
- certified public accountant or public accountant;
- licensed real estate broker;
- attorney;
- property appraiser accredited by a nationally recognized professional organization; or
- a property appraiser certified by the Office of Real Estate Appraisers or by the State Board of Equalization.
Applicants must include documentation of qualifying experience with their application to the Clerk of the Board. Employees of an assessor's office within the past three years are not eligible.
