2011 Tax Board of Review Annual Report 7 <br />10. The Board again recommends that market modeling be implemented. Market modeling <br />is the term commonly used by the real property tax division for the mass appraisal of <br />improved properties (primarily single family residential type properties) by the sales <br />comparison approach (versus the cost approach). <br />11. It is highly recommended that training sessions continue to be provided for the Board as <br />time permits. It is also recommended that training material provided for the Board by the <br />County be compiled into an informational manual to use as a reference guide for future <br />Board Members. <br />12. The Board recommends that the County continue to provide new appraisers with the <br />opportunity to observe appeal case hearings. It is further recommended that the <br />experienced appraisers also be provided with the opportunity to observe the <br />presentations of their colleagues if time permits. <br />13. With the pending retirement of the Assistant Tax Administrator prior to the appeal <br />hearings in 2012 and with the majority of the appraisal staff, including the Appraisal <br />Supervisor, being new or relatively new employees, it is important that intensive training <br />be scheduled early next year. One of the most important training items is the <br />presentation of Chapter 19 and how its provisions relate to real property appraisals. <br />Close <br />Chairman's Comments <br />- None — <br />
