July 30, 2013 | Property Taxation: Valuation and Consultation Services

Description: This webinar addresses how appraisers fit under the umbrella of the property tax services industry. From preparing appraisal and appraisal review reports to providing information in a clear, objective and competent manner, appraisers can provide tremendous assistance to both the public and private sectors. Although appraisers often prepare appraisal and appraisal review reports in assessment appeal environments, appraisers can also routinely provide other valuation and valuation-related services.
