The Supervisor of the Town of Fabius is hereby empowered to enter
into an agreement with the Town of Pompey pursuant to § 576
of the Real Property Tax Law, providing that one Assessor shall be
appointed to hold the office of Assessor in all participating assessing
units in the coordinated assessment program.
Such a coordinated assessment agreement shall provide for the joint
conduct of interviews of persons seeking the office of Assessor, and
that the appointment of the Assessor must be approved by a majority
of each participating assessing unit's Town Board. In addition,
the agreement shall provide for the compensation of the Assessor.
Each Town shall enter into its own financial agreement with the appointed
Assessor.
Upon the expiration of the term of the appointed Assessor, or in
the event that the Assessor so appointed resigns or is otherwise unable
to remain in office, one individual shall be appointed to succeed
him or her in all the participating assessing units.
Effective with the first assessment roll produced in cooperation
with the other participating assessing units in the coordinated assessment
program, all real property shall be assessed at the same uniform percentage
of value in each assessing unit participating in the coordinated assessment
program throughout the term of this cooperative assessment agreement.
The dates applicable to the assessment process in each participating
assessing unit, including taxable status date, and the dates for the
filing of the tentative and the final assessment rolls, shall be the
same for each assessing unit participating in this coordinated assessment
program.
This article shall take effect immediately upon the filing of
the local law with the Secretary of State and the Secretary to the
State Board of Real Property Services.
