The City of Red Deer is seeking more applications for the Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board (RARB). This board is responsible for issuing decisions on complaints related to property assessments across more than 30 central Alberta municipalities.
The board is an impartial, independent body comprised of citizen members from central Alberta communities that hear and issue decisions on formal complaints from property owners who disagree with the assessed values of their property within the partner municipalities.
Once selected, board members will receive mandatory training provided through Municipal Affairs and will receive remuneration for their responsibilities and time spent serving on the board. Most hearings are held online, so applicants should also have a strong understanding of technology; specifically, online meeting platforms and MS Office Suite (or equivalent).
Preference will be given to those with expertise on quasi-judicial boards or those with an assessment, legal or valuation background. Equally important is the ability to absorb and analyze large amounts of information and draft professional documents. Interested candidates should be available during the day for training and hearings.
To apply, go to www.reddeer.ca/rarb and complete the application. Applications are being accepted earlier than in previous years, so do not miss the opportunity to apply. Application deadline is September 25, 2024.
