Who We Are And What We Do
The Alabama Municipal Revenue Officers Association was conceived in the late 60’s when a group of forward thinking individuals recognized and promoted the importance of professional municipal revenue collection and enforcement.
Led by Mobile Revenue Officer Jesse Hogan, a small group of inspired revenue officers including William (Bill) Koeppel (Tuscaloosa), Charles Smith (Decatur) and Earl Tisdale (Auburn) met with representatives of universities to develop training events. President Hogan, President-Elect Koeppel, Vice President Smith and Secretary/Treasurer Tisdale were elected and installed as the first officers of the Association in July, 1972.
Also in 1972, the Association’s first Constitution and By-Laws were adopted by the membership. In 1983, the Code of Ethics was adopted. The Association accepted a proposal from the University of Alabama in 1986 to conduct the Alabama Municipal Revenue Officer’s Certification Program. Ultimately the complexity of association activities as well as the size of the organization required incorporation in 1989. A new Constitution and Bylaws were adopted and the first Board of Directors was elected. The first group of Certified Municipal Revenue Officers received their certificates in 1990. Twice each year since then, another group of revenue officers receives certificates awarded jointly by AMROA, Auburn University’s Government Economic Development Institute (GEDI), and the Alabama League of Municipalities. The expertise and numbers of well-trained officials continues to grow with the support and stability of AMROA.

How Do I get Certified?
The purpose of the Alabama Municipal Revenue Officers Certification Program is to improve the professional, administrative, and fiscal skills of participating municipal revenue officers through a series of courses approved by the Municipal Revenue Officers Association. Because of the increasing complexity of municipal revenue administration, this certification program is designed to help municipal revenue officers develop their management skills and abilities and obtain more expertise and status in their profession as they serve their communities.
For an individual to maintain certified status in the Alabama Municipal Revenue Officers Association, a total of twenty (20) hours must be attended in either an AMROA sponsored workshop, conference, or certification training sessions every two years.
If an individual who has achieved certified status is not employed within the scope of a municipal revenue function for a continuous period of five years, or fails to maintain certification, that individual’s certified status becomes inactive.
To reactivate certified status with AMROA, the individual must attend a two and one half day session of an Alabama Municipal Revenue Officers Certification Training Institute.
