Service Providers Can Lend Valuable Assistance to Local Property Assessors
Every year professional property assessors hire consultants and vendors for a variety of reasons. Listed below are consultants and vendors listed on the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) Vendor & Consultants Directory website. The listing of a firm or organization on the IAAO website or on the listing below is not a specific endorsement. Property assessors or others needing the help of service providers are encouraged to:
1. Read the IAAO Standard on Contracting for Assessment Services (December 2008) available from the IAAO;
2. Check with your purchasing agent about the procedures that need to be followed in seeking specific services; and
3. Talk with other assessment professionals who have had similar services performed, asking them about lessons learned and for suggestions or recommendations.
