Welcome to the Website of the
Minnesota Association of Assessing Officers!

MAAO is a professional association of licensed Minnesota assessors committed to supporting high-quality assessments for more than 60 years. MAAO is an organization formed in 1949 to help ensure that property taxes in Minnesota are assessed in a fair and equitable manner.

Our mission is to promote professionalism, high ethical standards, high-quality education, foster the sharing of assessment practices, and to collaborate with our Department of Revenue to assist them in their oversight duties. 

 It is the vision of MAAO to be the recognized statewide leader in assessment education, mass appraisal training, and the dissemination of information for mass appraisal and property tax administration. MAAO promotes high ethical standards for Minnesota assessors and also serves as the Minnesota chapter affiliate of IAAO (http://www.iaao.org/).

I encourage you to learn more about our organization and the benefits of membership by exploring our web site Membership Page.  On our web site you will find information about upcoming assessment conferences, educational offerings, events, legislative activity, and employment opportunities.

Consider becoming a member.  As a member, you will receive our Zangerle Award winning publication, Equal Eyes.  This publication is a valuable resource, full of valuable information for those working in property tax administration and mass appraisal.  Membership also offers discounted registration to all our educational offerings.  

Thank you for visiting the website of MAAO!  If you would like more information regarding membership, please see our Membership Page or Contact Us.  We would love to show you how MAAO membership could make your career in assessing more rewarding and productive.

Sincerely,
Stephen L. Baker, MAAO President
