The AAA Accredited Municipal Assessor of Alberta (AMAA) designation is recognized worldwide as a leading property assessment accreditation. Only the Alberta Assessors' Association can award the AMAA designation and, as a regulated profession, membership is mandatory for practicing Assessors. With an AMAA designation, Alberta Assessors can work anywhere in the province and the accreditation is recognized in other regulated provinces (currently, Saskatchewan and Ontario)
