The Colorado Association of Tax Appraisers provides local county assessment appraisers and tax agents continuing education classes and a forum through which they may exchange valuable information and ideas with their peers throughout the State of Colorado.
From the association's original inception in 1962, the CATA Board has worked closely with the Colorado Division of Property Taxation to bring a diversity of class offerings to their members in an attempt to keep them current with their 42 hours of continuing education programs which are required every two years. Their working relationship with the DPT and the Colorado Assessors Association (CAA) has grown strong over the past few years to make CATA the organization it is today.
In presenting these programs CATA focuses on affordable education and a broad range of categories in the classes it offers.

The 2007 CATA Conference was held October 1-4, 2007. Eleven classes were offered each day and activities were held each evening. Click the Conferences link to view the recap of the latest conference. more>>
In addition to offering many class and workshop activities during the annual conference, the CATA Board holds it's annual dinner meeting during the conference, giving the most members the greatest opportunity to participate in important decisions, such as electing the CATA Board of Directors.
The Division of Property Taxation provides the bulk of the continuing education classes at a nominal fee for our attendees. The Colorado Assessors' Association provides a generous contribution that allows us to keep class costs down. Software vendors also provide support at the annual conference, displaying their products for use by our assessors.
County assessors also recognize the tremendous benefit of allowing their appraisal staff to network with the other county appraisers throughout the state. Over 350 members attended the most recent conference.
We are grateful for the support of the Appraisal Education Providers in helping us develop the offerings for the CATA Conference each year. If you need continuing education hours or are looking to upgrade your license, you can be assurred of receiving the finest education from these providers. more>>
August 25-28, 2008
The 2008 Conference is scheduled and ready to go! We’ve changed the dates to August 25 – 28th, and hopefully we won’t get snowed on this year. Copper Mountain will be a more exciting place with more shops and restaurants open and more activities available to everyone. The CATA Board has worked hard and developed what we think is an excellent selection of classes, with 4 classes on Monday, and more than 10 classes each day Tuesday through Thursday. Additional activities are planned for after class, including our Tuesday night Dance, and our Wednesday Dinner Meeting. We look forward to seeing you there!
