MMA webinar to cover assessing on April 3

Christopher Wilcock, chief of the Division of Local Services’ Bureau Local Assessment and a former assessor, will lead a practical and informative MMA webinar for municipal managers and mayors about assessing operations on April 3.

Assessing offices are responsible for more than property valuations; they’re also involved in processes that impact the bottom-line of municipal budgets. While municipal managers and mayors are responsible for overseeing assessing operations, they may not have a background in assessing.

Wilcock will review how an assessor’s office operates, what happens throughout the assessment year, how to implement best practices, and how to improve communication with residents. This webinar will demystify the responsibilities of the assessor.

Online registration is available for this 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon.

Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
