DESCRIPTION
The act would change the beginning and ending dates for terms of office for county assessors. At the present time a county assessor's term begins on September 1 of the year following the assessor's election. The term ends on August 31 of the fourth year. This act, in a two step procedure, will, at the election in 2004, establish January 1, as the beginning date for a county assessor's term of office. This procedure will bring assessors' terms into line with terms of other county offices.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
