Wendy Prosser, sales/field appraiser in the Barton County appraiser’s office, was recently awarded the professional designation of RMA (Registered Mass Appraiser). This designation is awarded to those individuals who have successfully completed at least 180 hours of tested course work, have at least three years (6,000 hours) of mass appraisal experience and successfully tested a four-hour residential and a four-hour commercial case study exam.

The RMA was established by state legislation in 1997 and is one of four options for an individual to meet the professional designation qualifications to serve as a county appraiser. The designation was developed and is awarded by the Kansas property valuation division.

Prosser has been with the Barton County appraiser’s office since July 14, 2008.
