Assessor of
Property Office Proudly Claims
CERTIFICATE OF
EXCELLENCE in ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATION
From Fair & Equitable, Mary Odom,
MLS
The IAAO (International
Association of Assessing Officers) Certificate
of Excellence in Assessment Administration (CEAA)
recognizes jurisdictions that utilize
best appraisal and
assessment practices in their
offices. Because the program is directed
at an entire jurisdiction rather than an
individual, the requirements place a
strong emphasis on
teamwork and group achievement. Jurisdictions
that earn this designation have demonstrated
a high level of
proficiency in the assessment disciplines to
both their constituents and their peers.
The IAAO is the
preeminent authority on assessment
administration, and the CEAA is the highest
professional honor an assessment jurisdiction
can obtain.
 Davidson
County, Tennessee, Assessor's Office is the
first jurisdiction in that state to earn the CEAA.
The office initially entered the program because
it recognized that having the IAAO, the
preeminent authority on assessment
administration, independently and objectively
determine that it is meeting standards and best
practices in the appraisal profession will
enhance the public trust.
Nineteen staff members were directly involved
with writing the submission, a process that took
precisely 358 days from start to finish.
In retrospect, Davidson County said it should
have applied sooner for the program to get an
earlier start.
The most valuable thing Davidson County learned
about its jurisdiction is that
assessment
administration, in all its facets, must be, at
its core, about providing high-quality service
to the taxpayers and property owners of the
county. Staff members recommend focusing
on organization on the front end of the project
because it is a significant and undertaking, and
not to procrastinate, so as to meet the one-year
deadline.
