§705. County commissioners may appoint assessors; procedure
If for 3 months after any warrant for a state or county tax has been issued, a municipality which is not part of a primary assessing area or is not a primary assessing area has neglected to choose assessors, or the assessors chosen have neglected to assess and certify such tax, the Treasurer of State or of the county may so notify the county commissioners. [PL 1973, c. 620, §15 (AMD).]
On receipt of such notification the county commissioners shall appoint 3 or more suitable persons in the county to be assessors for such municipality. New warrants shall be issued to such assessors, which said warrants shall supersede the state and county warrants originally issued to the assessors of the delinquent municipality.
Assessors appointed under this section shall be duly sworn; shall be subject to the same duties and penalties as other assessors; and shall assess upon the polls and estates of the municipality its due proportion of state and county taxes, and such reasonable charges for time and expense in making the assessment as the county commissioners may approve, which said charges shall be paid from the county treasury.
