RE: 2013 Third & Fourth Quarter Level I & Level II Assessor Appraiser Certification Examinations
The objective of the Level I and Level II examinations, in accordance with IC 6-1.1-35.5-3, is to test individuals on job-related concepts that are representative of the substantial knowledge needed for effective performance as a county or township assessor or assessing official. The examination will test practical applications used in the performance of the duties associated with the office.
The examinations are open to anyone at no charge. However, in accordance with IC 6-1.1-35.5- 7, “a person who is successful on the level one examination may apply for and take the level two examination.” Therefore, you must take the examinations in order, and the examinations cannot be taken on the same day. You must pre-register for the examinations.
