§ 8775 Assessment Levy Assessors Appointment

• •When a tax or fee needs to be set, a group of three people (called assessors) must be chosen to decide how much it should be.
• •The group in charge (the board) picks these three assessors.
• •This rule was added a long time ago, in 1943.

Imagine your neighborhood needs to collect money to fix the local park.

The neighborhood leaders (the board) would pick three people from the area to figure out how much each family should pay to help fix the park.
