The City of Red Deer is accepting applications for new members to serve on the Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board.
Applications open today and will be accepted until September 18, 2026. The City is recruiting for four vacancies on the Board, with new members expected to begin their terms in January 2027.
The Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board, also known as RARB, is an impartial, independent, quasi-judicial board responsible for issuing evidence-based decisions on property assessment complaints. The Board serves more than 30 partner municipalities in Central Alberta.
“RARB members play an important role in supporting fairness and transparency in the property assessment complaint process,” said Catherine Jackson, Acting City Clerk. “This is a meaningful opportunity for people with strong judgment, analytical skills and an interest in property assessment, governance or decision-making.”
RARB members are paid remuneration for hearings and required training, but they are not employees of The City of Red Deer or partner municipalities.
Applicants do not need formal training to apply. Mandatory training is provided by the Province of Alberta before new members sit on hearings. Applicants should have flexible daytime availability, as hearings and training are often scheduled Monday to Friday during regular business hours.
The Board may be a good fit for people with experience or interest in:
- Property assessment
- Real estate
- Property management or development
- Law
- Governance
- Administrative boards or tribunals
- Evidence-based decision-making
Hearings may be held online or in person, and members may be required to travel within the region. Hearing volume varies each year, and members are not guaranteed a specific number of hearing assignments.
Applications close September 18, 2026. For more information and to apply, visit reddeer.ca/rarbapply.
