Self-Study Training Sessions
The Property Tax Department has developed the following self-study training sessions designed to provide information about the property tax system in California. Completion of the reading assignment and correctly answering at least 80 percent of the review questions will qualify certified appraisers and assessment analysts who are employees of the state, any county, or city and county for training hours.
Certified Appraisers
Revenue and Taxation Code section 671. requires that individuals who hold a permanent appraiser certificate must complete at least 24 hours of BOE-conducted or BOE-approved training each year; at least 12 hours are required for individuals who hold an advanced appraiser certificate.
Self-study training sessions cannot be used to attain an advanced appraisal certificate, but they can be used for the annual training requirements for an appraiser holding a temporary, permanent, or advanced certificate. Self-study training sessions may be repeated for appraisal training credit hours if at least five years have passed since an individual previously received training credit hours for the same self-study.
Certified Assessment Analysts
Revenue and Taxation Code section 674. requires that individuals who hold a permanent assessment analyst certificate must complete at least 24 hours of BOE-conducted or BOE approved training each year; at least 12 hours are required for individuals who hold an advanced assessment analyst certificate.
Self-study training sessions marked with an asterisk (*) in the table below may qualify towards obtaining an advanced assessment analyst certificate. Other self-study sessions can be used for the annual training requirement for an assessment analyst holding a permanent or advanced certificate. Self-study training sessions may be repeated for assessment analyst training credit hours if at least three years have passed since an individual previously received training credit hours for the same self study.
