City seeks applicants for Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board

Sep 18, 2024 | 10:53 AM

The City of Red Deer is searching for more applicants for the Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board (RARB), which issues decisions on complaints related to property assessments across more than 30 central Alberta municipalities.

The board is an impartial and independent body consisting of citizen members from central Alberta communities. The goal of the RARB is to hear and issue decisions on formal complaints from property owners who disagree with assessed values of their property.

Board members will receive mandatory training provided by Municipal Affairs and receive remuneration for their responsibilities and time spent serving on the board.

Most meetings are held online, so applicants should have a strong understanding of technology like online meeting platforms such as the Microsoft Office Suite, or an equivalent.

Officials say preference will be given to those with expertise on quasi-judicial boards or those with an assessment, legal or valuation background. An ability to absorb and analyze large amounts of information and draft professional documents is also essential. Interested candidates should be available during the day for training and hearings.

To apply, go to www.reddeer.ca/rarb and complete the application. The application deadline is September 25, 2024.

For more information on the Central Alberta Regional Assessment Review Board including a list of partner municipalities, visit www.reddeer.ca/rarb or email RegionalARB@reddeer.ca.
