Membership Process
The Licensed Assessment Appraiser of Saskatchewan (LAAS) license is recognized as the property assessment certification in the province of Saskatchewan.
The Municipal Assessment Appraiser of Saskatchewan (MAAS) or Municipal Rural Assessment Appraiser of Saskatchewan (MRAAS) designation is awarded to members who have earned the designation through a combination of work experience and education (See Path to Accreditation). It typically takes between four – six years after you have been working in the assessment field to become accredited.
Members who achieve their MAAS or MRAAS designation automatically receive their LAAS license.
