Following the administration and grading of an examination for assessor or deputy assessor, the director shall establish updated registers containing the names, in alphabetical order, and addresses of all persons eligible for appointment. The registers shall not contain test scores, but the scores shall be given to the city or county conference board upon request. Eligible candidates shall remain on the register for two years following the date of certification by the director after which time the person must successfully retake the examination to be placed on the register However, assessors and deputy assessors with six years of consecutive service shall be placed on the register permanently without further testing being required. "Consecutive service" means service in which there was not more than 30 days' break in service. Assessor and deputy assessor service cannot be combined to meet the six-year consecutive service requirement.

An assessor or deputy assessor appointed as such without having complied with continuing education requirements shall be removed from office on order of the director No continuing education requirements need be met for an assessor to be appointed a deputy assessor nor for a deputy assessor to be appointed an assessor
