§ 11-207 Duties of assessors in assessing property.

AC § 11-207

a. In performing their assessment duties, the assessors shall personally examine each parcel of taxable real estate during at least every third assessment cycle, and shall personally examine each parcel of real estate that is not taxable during at least every fifth assessment cycle, as measured from the last preceding assessment cycle during which such parcel was personally examined. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, the assessors shall revalue, reassess or update the assessment of each parcel of taxable or nontaxable real estate during each assessment cycle, irrespective of whether such parcel was personally examined during each assessment cycle. b. The persons having charge of the borough assessment offices shall furnish to the commissioner of finance, under oath, a detailed statement of all taxable real estate in the city. Such statement shall contain the street, the section or ward, the block and lot and map or identification numbers of such real estate embraced within such district; the sum for which, in their judgment, each separately assessed parcel of real estate would sell under ordinary circumstances if it were wholly unimproved and, separately stated, the sum for which the same parcel would sell under ordinary circumstances with the improvements, if any, thereon, such sums to be determined with regard to the limitations contained in the state real property tax law. Such statement shall include such other information as the commissioner of finance may, from time to time, require. Editor's note: For related unconsolidated provisions, see Appendix A at L.L. 1991/065.
