The purpose of this chapter is to establish
the office of a single appointed assessor within the Town of Victor,
in place of the current three elected assessors within the town.
Pursuant to Article 3, § 328, of the
Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York, as amended and effective
July 21, 1993, a town may adopt a local law which shall provide but
one assessor, to be appointed, as provided by law.
On January 1, 1997, the office of one appointed
assessor shall be established for the Town of Victor.
The qualifications for the sole appointed assessor
shall be the minimum qualifications required by the New York State
Office of Real Property Services (ORPS) as defined in the New York
State Real Property Tax Law for appointment to the office.
Upon establishment of the office of appointed
assessor pursuant to this law, on January 1, 1997, the office of all
assessors then in office shall terminate.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3, § 328
of the Real Property Tax Law, and pursuant to § 23 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law, this chapter shall become operative only
if approved at the November 5, 1996 General Election by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the qualified electors of the Town of Victor
voting upon the proposition in the above matter and as prescribed
by law.
