Appraiser I - Licensed or Appraiser II Certified Residential

Uintah County is seeking a detail-oriented, analytical professional to join the Assessor's Office as an Appraiser (Levels I, or II, depending on qualifications). This role encompasses complex to advanced-level valuation duties throughout the entire appraisal process, directly contributing to the accurate preparation of the annual assessment roll. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of local real estate market trends, property assessment practices, and a commitment to maintaining fair, uniform, and equitable property values county-wide.

Appraiser I - Licensed
At the entry to intermediate level, the Appraiser I focuses primarily on foundational property valuation and field data collection. Under the direction of a Senior Appraiser or Appraiser II, this role is responsible for measuring, sketching, and photographing new and existing construction, as well as inspecting properties to evaluate construction quality, condition, and functional design. The Appraiser I values real and personal property-including residential, recreational, vacant land, and agricultural acreage-by utilizing computerized models to process replacement costs and establish standard cost approaches. Additionally, this position tracks county-wide building permits, participates in field inspections of sales comparables, and helps analyze data to maintain uniformity across mass appraisals. Employees at this level will also review fee appraisals for Board of Equalization hearings, support county values during appeals, inspect Greenbelt properties, and address public inquiries regarding property assessments. Cross-training duties may include assisting with administrative customer service, processing business personal property records, and generating delinquent tax notifications.

Appraiser II - Certified Residential
At the advanced level, the Appraiser II performs complex appraisal functions utilizing specialized knowledge of real and personal property valuations, including multi-family housing developments. Beyond standard fieldwork, data entry, and computer modeling, this position takes on leadership and administrative responsibilities within the office. The Appraiser II assists in planning and organizing field campaigns for general reappraisals, new growth tracking, and sales comparables, while also utilizing Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data to perform sales ratio studies and interpret cost manuals. A core function of this role involves mentorship, as the Appraiser II actively trains and instructs Appraiser Trainees and Level I Appraisers, directly assisting trainees in logging their required appraisal experience points for submission to the Division of Real Estate. During the Board of Equalization cycle, the Appraiser II evaluates current sales trends to update property files, estimates percentages on uncompleted buildings, methodically analyzes competing fee appraisals, and publicly defends county valuations during formal appeal hearings.

For the Appraiser I classification, no college education is required; however, candidates must possess a minimum of two (2) years of appraisal experience, a valid Utah driver's license, and a state appraiser designation. Advancement to or placement as an Appraiser II requires four (4) years of experience, a valid Utah driver's license, a state appraiser designation, and the completion of specific academic benchmarks. To meet the Appraiser II education standard, candidates must hold either a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college in any field of study, or an Associate Degree from an accredited college in a focused field of study, specifically limited to Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Real Estate. Uintah County reserves the right to hire at any level based on the applicant's qualifications and professional background.

This full-time position offers $28.00 an hour, depending on experience, and a comprehensive benefits package. You'll receive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, retirement plans, and various supplemental insurance options. Enjoy Paid Time Off (PTO), an Employee Assistance Program, and an exciting perks program.
