Title 2 - Assessors and Assessor Training
328 - Option to Change to Single Appointed Assessor.

§ 328. Option to change to single appointed assessor. In any city or
town which has retained the office of elective assessor, the legislative
body of such city or town may adopt a local law providing that from and
after a date set forth in such local law, which date must be within one
year after the date on which such local law was adopted, there shall be
but one assessor, to be appointed as provided in section three hundred
ten of this title. The legislative body, in its discretion, may
determine that a local law adopted pursuant to this section shall be
subject to a mandatory or permissive referendum, or not subject to a
referendum. Any such referendum shall be conducted in the manner
prescribed in section twenty-three or twenty-four of the municipal home
rule law, as the case may be. On December thirty-first of the year in
which such local law shall take effect, the term or terms of all
assessors then in office shall terminate.
