Appraisal District as an Employment Opportunity

Working for the county assessor can be a good way to get to know an area and property value in the county. Although sometime the pay is not competitive with some other areas in the real estate industry, the work is steady because property taxes are collected in good an bad economic times. Also, the job might also include employer-sponsored benefits like medical insurance and retirement plans.

Many students have started out their real estate careers in the assessment offices. Some have stayed to make tax assessing their career, others have moved into other areas such as development, appraisal, investing, or lending.
