Article XI, Board of Tax Assessors, to become effective 7-1-1976.
In accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:46-6.2c, there shall be appointed
by the Mayor and Common Council a single Tax Assessor for the entire
tax district of Gloucester City, who shall hold office for a term
of four years and until his successor has been duly appointed and
qualified. The initial term of said Assessor shall commence on July
1, 1976, and expire on June 30 of the fourth year thereafter; provided,
however, that in the case of the death, resignation or removal of
said Assessor, his successor shall be appointed for the unexpired
term only.
It shall be the duty of the Tax Assessor to make the assessments
for taxes on the real and personal property in Gloucester City, in
accordance with the Tax Law of the State of New Jersey and the decisions
and rulings made by the State and County Boards of Tax Appeals.
The Tax Assessor shall receive an annual salary, which salary
shall be fixed in the Salary Ordinance of the City of Gloucester City[1], and shall be in lieu of any and all fees or commissions.
The Accounts and Finance Committee of the Common Council shall
report to the Common Council any neglect or dereliction of duty on
the part of the Tax Assessor, and the Common Council shall have the
right, by a majority vote, to suspend or dismiss the Tax Assessor
for such neglect or dereliction of duty, upon conviction thereof,
the said Tax Assessor being first presented with a copy of the charges,
which shall be in writing and being given a fair and impartial hearing
by the Common Council.
