Subject of Rules. The Minnesota State Board of Assessors requests comments on its possible amendment of rules governing the Minnesota State Board of Assessors. The Board of Assessors has identified a number of changes to the Board of Assessors’ rules and has requested that the rules be amended. The proposed changes would amend some licensing requirements to make a more specific distinction between the requirements for an Accredited Minnesota Assessor (AMA) and a Certified Minnesota Assessor Specialist (CMAS). The proposed amendments also strike references to courses that are no longer offered, and would make some other technical changes.

Persons Affected. The amendments of the rules would likely affect assessors currently licensed by the Board of Assessors, including County Assessors, and persons wishing to become licensed.

Statutory Authority. Minnesota Statutes, section 270.47, allows the Board of Assessors to adopt rules necessary to accomplish its purpose.

Public Comment. Interested persons or groups may submit comments or information on these possible rules in writing for 60 (sixty) days following the publication of this notice in the State Register or until further notice is published in the State Register that the Board intends to adopt or to withdraw the rules, whichever comes later. The Board does not contemplate appointing an advisory committee to comment on the possible rules.

Rules Drafts. A draft of the proposed rule changes is posted on the Department of Revenue’s web site at: www.taxes.state.mn.us.
