- 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.
Additional information is also available on the State Board of Equalization website.
