Editor's Note: The provisions in this article originally appeared as Ch. 7, Assessor, adopted 6-10-1996 by L.L. No. 15-1996, which local law superseded former Ch. 7, Assessors, adopted 3-1-1971 by L.L. No. 3-1971, but were moved to this article pursuant to L.L. No. 10-2017.
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.
