Board of Review Training

To help board of review members, alternates, township supervisors and assessors in preparing for 2012 board of review sessions, MTA is conducting half-day Board of Review Training workshops at 12 locations throughout the state. Online options are also available.

Find out how procedural changes, recent legislation and court decisions will impact assessing and board of review actions. Participants will receive (and discuss!) important forms and bulletins and get a review of the essentials every board of review member must know.
