What do the Tier levels mean?
Tier levels are based ONLY on the offense or offenses for which the person is currently registered and are used ONLY to establish how many times each year a registered sex offender is required to report IN PERSON to his Sheriff’s Office to update registration information. A person’s tier level does NOT have any effect on whether the person is subject to the 2,000 ft law, how long he is required to register, the results of any risk assessment or any other element of sex offender registration. It is used ONLY to determine how often the person must update registration information.
