Minn. R. agency 113, ch. 1950, pt. 1950.1080
To maintain a specific level of licensure, an assessor must take continuing education. A certified Minnesota assessor or certified Minnesota assessor specialist license holder must obtain at least 50 continuing education hours during a four-year period. An accredited Minnesota assessor or senior accredited Minnesota assessor license holder must obtain at least 60 continuing education hours. Any assessment-related seminar or coursework mandated by statute qualifies for continuing education hours. The four-year educational period begins July 1 of every presidential election year and ends June 30 of the succeeding presidential election year. An assessor who upgrades a license, for example, by moving from a certified Minnesota assessor to an accredited Minnesota assessor, during this four-year period must only obtain the continuing education hours needed for the license held at the beginning of the educational period.
Continuing education hours are given in three general categories.
Continuing education hours are not given to assessors for repeating any course or seminar within a four-year educational period. Instructors of board-approved courses or seminars may not report continuing education hours for repeating any course or seminar taught within a four-year educational period.
The assessor is responsible for providing documentation for courses or seminars completed or other continued education hours earned. The board may require the assessor to submit proof of attendance, certificates of completion, educational transcripts, or other documentation it considers necessary to substantiate the fact that an assessor has completed the necessary educational requirements.
