Congratulations to Ericka Dale our newest employee for passing her CAA test today! This certification is the beginning of her career as an assessor/appraiser. Being a county assessor/appraiser is a process of continuing education which involves attending workshops & education classes & obtaining passing grades for those classes. Many of the classes we attend are semester college courses which we attend for 4 days & test on the 5th day. Our certification periods are for a 5 year recertification process throughout our careers. Again, Congratulations to Ericka!
