Talk:Tax assessment

In reference to using the word "expert", I would have to strongly disagree with using this word when referring to assessors in general. An assessor need not have any training or background in real estate valuation. Also, this position is not comparable to a real estate appraiser. The experience hours and classroom hours of professional education needed to become a CR (Certified Residentail) or CG (Certified General)is exstensive. It may be true that many assessors are ex-appraisers, but this is not always so. 15-8 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.60.70 (talk) 15:31, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So the certification and continuing education requirements that exist throughout the US don't count as much as the hours spent in training by appraisers? Allrighty then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.37.75 (talk) 12:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
