Every board of review member (and alternate) must complete State Tax Commission-approved training at least once every two years. If your schedule is too busy for in-person classes, or you just prefer online learning, MTA is offering multiple dates for online Board of Review Training. We’ve got advanced training too! Whether you need to satisfy the biennial
training requirement OR are seeking next level training, we’ve got you covered. See below for details...
PA 660 Required Training for Board of Review Members (Feb. 6, 19 and 25)(Approved by the STC, meets the biennial training requirement) • Overview of the board’s role and statutory authority
• How to handle protests
• July and December boards of review
• Key items for 2026
Advanced Training: Board of Review Management (Feb. 26 only)
(Great for supervisors, assessors, and those who have already met the training requirement for this term; this class does NOT meet the STC’s training requirement.)
Our Advanced training will take you beyond the basics exploring potential pitfalls, common trouble-spots, hot topics and other issues encountered by boards of review. You’ll walk away with critical insights, even if you’ve been on the board of review for years!
Regardless which class you choose you’ll receive access to electronic versions of all handouts and resource materials, including samples, updated forms and bulletins, as well as guidance and information created specifically for the board of review. Those who pre-purchase a Board of Review Guide will be mailed their book in advance of their selected class whenever possible. Note that the book is NOT required for either class, but is an optional add-on.
(Assessors seeking renewal credit will find it at our April 20 class held in conjunction with MTA’s Annual Conference. More details coming soon!)
