ASSESSOR I, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL EXTENDED POSTING

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Introduction: GRADE 17 LOCATION OF POSITION SDAT Assessment Office - Baltimore County 300 E Joppa Rd. Suite 602 Towson, MD 21286 - Main Purpose of Job: To appraise commercial and industrial real property at fair market value for use in the calculation of real property taxes. - POSITION DUTIES: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). We need to turn into

• . - Minimum Qualifications: Experience: Seven years of appraisal experience... plus notes about substitution. - Desired Or Preferred Qualifications: list. - LIMITATIONS ON SELECTION: Must be willing to work in Baltimore County. You must be a current SDAT employee. - LICENSES, REGISTRATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS: includes motor vehicle operator’s license, special requirements. - SELECTION PROCESS: instructions about application (should be removed as application instructions). We need to remove application instructions. So we should drop SELECTION PROCESS and EXAMINATION PROCESS sections (they are application instructions). Also remove "Benefits Click here to read more details: STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS" but we need to keep benefits content. The benefits section includes details: Generous Paid Time Off..., Family-Friendly Policies..., Comprehensive Health Coverage..., Retirement & Pension..., Financial Wellness..., Work-Life Balance..., Student Loan Assistance:... We should keep that as Benefits section. - FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS: application instructions, remove. - As an equal opportunity employer... remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe Main Purpose of Job), Responsibilities (POSITION DUTIES), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Desired Or Preferred Qualifications), Skills? Could combine desired qualifications as Skills. Benefits section. Pay and Schedule: not present, so omit. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. We need to preserve all substantive info: location, grade maybe? Should we include location as part of About the role? Could include location in a paragraph. We must not repeat job title (not given). So we can start with

  About the role

  then a paragraph containing Main Purpose of Job plus location and grade. Let's extract: - GRADE 17 - LOCATION OF POSITION: SDAT Assessment Office - Baltimore County 300 E Joppa Rd. Suite 602 Towson, MD 21286 - Main Purpose of Job: To appraise commercial and industrial real property at fair market value for use in the calculation of real property taxes. Thus About the role paragraph: "Grade 17 position located at the SDAT Assessment Office in Baltimore County (300 E Joppa Rd., Suite 602, Towson, MD 21286). The main purpose is to appraise commercial and industrial real property at fair market value for use in the calculation of real property taxes." Now Responsibilities: list each duty.

Candidates may substitute U.S. Armed Forces military service experience as a commissioned officer in tax examining classification or tax examining specialty codes in the accounting and budget group field of work on a year-for-year basis for the required experience. We'll put as paragraph(s) or list? Probably paragraph. Now Qualifications (Desired Or Preferred Qualifications): - Proven ability to work independently under moderate supervision, demonstrating the initiative to efficiently manage time, meet reassessment deadlines, and conduct field inspections across varied environments. - Strong capability to analyze complex market data and critically evaluate commercial income and expense statements to develop accurate capitalization rates and determine fair market values. - Prior experience utilizing the Automated Assessment Valuation System (AAVS) or similar Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) software. - Prior experience utilizing critical thinking to prepare documentation for, and successfully defend property valuations at, formal appeal hearings. - Experience utilizing cost manuals to determine building types and grades, as well as accurately measuring and drawing commercial and industrial buildings. - Prior experience specifically estimating the value of commercial and industrial real property.

    • . Now Licenses, Registrations and Certifications: Should we include as a section? The instructions only list specific headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Licenses etc could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements (as part of qualifications). But we could also create a separate section "Requirements" includes experience and licenses. However the instruction says use those headings only; we can still include other headings if they map to those? It says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

      for section headings (e.g. ...)". Likely they expect only those headings. So we should fold license info into Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include license info under Requirements as a paragraph. Limitations on selection: Must be willing to work in Baltimore County. You must be a current SDAT employee. This is also a requirement; we can include under Requirements. Now we need to avoid duplicating lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

      ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...

      Requirements

      (maybe multiple paragraphs)

      Qualifications

      No Pay or Schedule. Make sure to not include any extra text. Let's craft paragraphs. About the role paragraph: "Grade 17 position located at the SDAT Assessment Office in Baltimore County (300 E Joppa Rd., Suite 602, Towson, MD 21286). The main purpose is to appraise commercial and industrial real property at fair market value for use in the calculation of real property taxes." Now Responsibilities list as above. Now Requirements paragraph: combine experience, substitutions, limitations, licenses. We need to include: - Experience: Seven years of appraisal experience estimating the value of real property performed in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice Code and completion of the International Association of Assessing Officers Courses 101, 102 and 300 or equivalent courses approved by the Department of Assessments and Taxation. - Substitution notes: Candidates may substitute a Bachelor's degree plus same courses and three years of experience; or U.S. Armed Forces military service experience as a commissioned officer in tax examining classification or specialty codes in accounting and budget group on a year-for-year basis. - Limitations: Must be willing to work in Baltimore County; must be a current SDAT employee. - Licenses: Employees assigned duties requiring operation of a motor vehicle must possess a valid Maryland motor vehicle operator’s license; may be required to have daily use of a motor vehicle while on official State business, with standard mileage allowance paid for privately owned vehicle; upon appointment, employees possessing a real estate broker or sales license, or insurance license must put the license in an inactive status; employees prohibited from participating in any outside activity, including private appraisals, that may be deemed a conflict of interest. We'll combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Probably multiple paragraphs for readability but still under Requirements. We'll do:
