IAAO undertook a major initiative to capture and articulate a Body of Knowledge (BOK), a compendium that captures, in one place, a description of the expertise required to effectively work within the assessment profession.
This document provides the framework for that compendium by describing the key areas of knowledge in which assessors must establish competency, and identifying the broad categories of skills required by professionals working in each Knowledge Area.
The BOK is divided into eight books, and each reviews key Knowledge Areas (KAs) in which assessors must establish competency.
- 01 – Working with the Legal Framework
- 02 – Collecting and Maintaining Property Data
- 03 – Developing and Managing Cadastral Data
- 04 – Appraising Property
- 05 – Leading and Managing the Assessment Office
- 06 – Managing Complaints and Appeals
- 07 – Managing Public Relations and Communications
- 08 – Oversight and Compliance Review
The BOK Framework document was developed by a team of subject matter experts handpicked by the IAAO Board of Directors, drawing on an average of 30+ years of assessment experience and incorporating input from a survey of IAAO members.
The BOK books can be purchase on Amazon.
