Each county shall comprise a separate assessment district, and the county or district appraiser shall have the duty of appraising all tangible property in this county.

The county or district appraiser shall with the consent of the board of county commissioners appoint such township trustees, assistants, appraisers, and other employees as are required to carry out the provisions of this act and to give such assistance to taxpayers as is necessary.
The county commissioners shall require every employee performing appraisal analysis functions to attend appraisal schools conducted or approved by the director of property valuation or to establish to the satisfaction of the director of property valuation that such employee has received the necessary training to perform such functions.
