In 1971, the Minnesota Legislature created the State Board of Assessors. The board establishes, reviews, supervises, coordinates and approves courses in assessment practices. They also establish criteria for determining assessor’s qualifications.
The Minnesota Assessor Education and Licensing Program Manual is being drafted and will be posted when completed.

License applications
You must complete all license requirements before the Board will make a determination on your application. Application forms for CMA, CMAS, AMA and SAMA licenses are two pages each. You must submit both pages to ensure proper processing of your application.
Applications for the residential and income case study exams and course challenges/retests can be found on the Minnesota Association of Assessing Officers (MAAO) website.
