There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Certification Of Assessors.
* § 354. Certification of assessors. 1. Any person appointed to the office of chief or inferior assessor shall be certified by the state board pursuant to this section. 2. An assessor shall be certified upon successful completion of the basic course of training and such examinations as may be prescribed by the state board. The basic course of training shall be prescribed by the state board based upon one or more general characteristics of the assessing units as the state board shall determine. 3. (a) An assessor may be certified by the state board if such person satisfies the minimum qualification standards established by the state board for assessors and passes a comprehensive examination conducted by the state board. The state board shall annually conduct examinations for such purpose. Examinations shall be of such character as to fairly test and determine knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the duties of assessor with respect to appraisal and assessment procedures, applicable laws, rules, and regulations and the size and complexity of assessing units. (b) The state board may, in its discretion, waive any of the courses of training or may certify without examination any assessor, provided that such person is: (i) a member of the institute of assessing officers of the New York state assessor's association or is a member of the American institute of real estate appraisers; or (ii) designated as a senior real property appraiser by the society of real estate appraisers; or (iii) designated a certified assessment evaluator or an accredited assessment evaluator by the international association of assessing officers. 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision or any other law, the travel and other actual and necessary expenses incurred by an assessor, in satisfactorily completing courses of training as required by this title or as approved by the state board, including continuing education courses prescribed by the state board which are satisfactorily completed by any assessor, shall be a state charge upon audit by the comptroller. Candidates for certification as eligible for the position of assessor, other than assessors, shall be charged for the cost of training materials and shall be responsible for all other costs incurred by them in connection with such training. 5. In a city subject to this title, the travel and other actual and necessary expenses incurred by appraisal personnel employed in the office of such assessor in attending courses of training as required by this subdivision shall be a state charge upon audit by the comptroller. 6. To the extent funds are appropriated, all payments pursuant to this section shall be made from the local assistance account. * NB Effective April 1, 2006
