Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(1) In addition to the qualifications set forth in 7-4-2201, each assessor, before entering the duties of office, shall:

(a) take and file with the county clerk the constitutional oath of office; and

(b) certify to the county clerk that:

(i) the assessor has satisfactorily completed the assessor certification training as provided in 15-7-106(4); or

(ii) the assessor intends to take the assessor certification training at the next offering.

(2) An assessor forfeits office for failure to take and satisfactorily complete the assessor certification training within 36 months after taking office by election or appointment or for failure to satisfactorily complete continuing education when conducted by the department of revenue, unless the board of county commissioners finds that:

(a) the assessor is excused for reasons beyond the assessor's control, including illness, a death in the family, or other good cause; or

(b) there is no other qualified person available for appointment as assessor.

(3) Subsections (1)(b) and (2) do not apply to county officers who are county assessors because their county office has been consolidated with the office of county assessor and who are not contractually required to perform property assessment duties for the department.
