iAAO

The Utah Chapter of the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) serves as an educational and networking resource for public property appraisers and their staff throughout the state of Utah. We strive to follow the mission of our parent organization to promote innovation and excellence in property appraisal, assessment administration, and property tax policy through professional development, education, research, and technical assistance.   Founded in 1965, the Utah Chapter of the IAAO also strives to:

• Promote uniform and equitable principles of assessment through professionalism;
• Educate the public on the importance of the work performed by assessing officers;
• Improve assessment standards through education and modern methods of efficient technology;
• Promote professional designations through our organization; and
• Better serve Utah taxpayers  

Welcome to our website! As the Utah Chapter of the IAAO continues to grow, we are striving to provide our members with many resources to improve their skills and abilities as assessment professionals.

Our goals this year are primarily focused on education.  We are working to provide several opportunities throughout the year for our members to receive applicable and affordable continuing and qualifying education for the assessment field.

Our chapter is a close-knit group and we know that our professional organization is a great way to network with others in our state. Please feel free to contact me or any of the board members at any time with questions you may have.  We look forward to meeting you at our next event.

Sincerely,

Ryan Hatch
President,  IAAO  - Utah Chapter
