OAR 150-309-0010: Training for Property Value Appeals Board (PVAB) Members

(1) Each person appointed as a member of a PVAB pool must complete training approved by the department in the year they are first appointed and at least every other year thereafter. If there is a break in service for any member of any pool, the first year of the new appointment is considered the same as their original appointment year. Training must be specific to PVAB. (2) PVAB pool members that have completed training approved by the department are eligible to sit on a board. However, if an untrained member is required to sit on a board in order to establish a quorum, the member must read the current PVAB Manual prior to sitting on a board and sign an affidavit stating they have done so. The affidavit is to be made a part of the record of the board and a copy sent to the department. (3) The department may approve various types of training for board members based upon educational effectiveness, cost and accessibility to members. Approved training may include but not be limited to the following: in‐service training sponsored by the department; individual workbook with examination; EdNET; or interactive computer‐based multimedia training. (4) Notwithstanding Section (1) of this rule, for years in which no petitions are filed, board members are not subject to PVAB training requirements for that year.
