GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1989 SESSION
CHAPTER 416
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. G.S. 105-349(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) Appointment and Term.
- The governing body city manager of each county
and municipality shall appoint a tax collector on or before July 1,
1971, to serve for a term to be determined by the appointing body and until
his city manager and until the tax collector's successor has been
appointed and qualified. Until the first such appointments are made, county and
municipal taxes shall be collected by the tax collectors presently serving
under prior provisions of law. The governing body city manager may
remove the tax collector from office during his term for good cause after
giving him notice in writing and an opportunity to appear and be heard at
a public session of the governing body. No hearing shall be required, however,
if the tax collector is removed for failing to meet the prerequisites
prescribed by G.S. 105-352(b) for delivery of the tax receipts. Unless
otherwise provided by G.S. 105-373, whenever any vacancy occurs in this office,
the governing body city manager shall appoint a qualified person
to serve as tax collector for the period of the unexpired term."
Sec. 2. This act applies to the City of Mount Airy only.
Sec. 3. This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 22nd day of June, 1989.
