Assessor Recertification

To become recertified, the individual is responsible for submitting a PM-112 along with a $20 recertification fee to the Department of Revenue. The application for recertification must list the programs completed not listed in the Assessor Education Bureau Inquiry and annual meetings attended. Individuals must fulfill the educational requirements and submit the application at least 60 days prior to the date of certification expiration. All applications for recertification must be submitted timely to the Bureau of Assessment Practices.

Recertification

Chapter 221, Laws of 1979 directed the Department of Revenue to establish by administrative rule, policies and procedures for recertification. Since that time, the law governing the length of certification has been modified several times. Since August 15, 1991, certifications expire five years after the date of issuance.

A $20 recertification fee must be submitted with the application for recertification 60 days prior to expiration.

There are two ways to become recertified.

Alternative 1: By attending at least four of the annual meetings called by the Department of Revenue (Section 73.06(1), Stats.) for the five consecutive years preceding the expiration date of the individual's certification AND by meeting the continuing education requirements as established by the Department of Revenue.

Alternative 2: By passing the current certification examination. A $20 examination fee is required.
