Register for our 2010 Appraisal Review Board Training Seminar - Comprehensive

During March and April, the Texas Comptroller’s Property Tax Assistance Division (PTAD) will conduct appraisal review board (ARB) training seminars across the state. State law requires new ARB members to complete the Comptroller’s training course before they can participate in ARB hearings.

The Comptroller’s office is offering both in-person and telecast seminars. Attendees at the remote telecast locations will be able to participate and ask questions during the training. For all onsite and telecast locations, attendees will need to sign in for the morning session and the afternoon session on preprinted sign-in sheets to receive credit for the course.

The training will provide new members with a comprehensive understanding of the property tax laws that govern their duties and responsibilities on the ARB. The Comptroller’s Appraisal Review Board Manual will serve as the course text, and the Comptroller’s PTAD staff will teach the training course.

A list of the seminar dates and their locations appears below. Each one-day seminar will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4:00 p.m. Attendees will be on their own for lunch.

Registration

To attend an ARB seminar, complete the registration form and pay the $10 registration fee in advance of the seminar. The registration deadline for all seminars is February 12, 2010. If we do not receive your registration by the deadline, you may not be able to attend your selected seminar. (There will be no onsite registrations accepted.) PTAD will accept late registrations only as space permits. The form is a PDF file. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will need to download the latest version to view and print the form.

ARB members will receive priority at registration; however, the seminars are open to taxpayers and appraisal district staff. Non-ARB members will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis as space permits.

If the appraisal district board of directors has not appointed all ARB members by the registration deadline, simply write “To Be Appointed” in the space for the ARB member’s name.

Please send any questions by e-mail to ptad.cpa@cpa.state.tx.us or call the PTAD’s Information Services at (800) 252-9121, ext. 1, or direct in Austin at (512) 305-9999.
