What the Real Estate Appraiser family covers
New Jersey classifies Real Estate Appraiser as a 3-level series holding 6 separate title codes. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Analyst and planner titles are where New Jersey puts the work of deciding rather than delivering: land use, capital programming, rate setting, program evaluation and policy research. Many exist at the local level because municipal and county planning boards were early adopters of civil service, so the family may hold only local codes even when the same work happens at the state under a different name. The qualification pattern is consistent, a bachelor's degree at entry with experience substituting upward, and the ladders are usually clean numbered progressions.
