Why is the effective date for the term limits of the office of Shelby County Assessor different than the effective date for the other officers?
The Shelby County Assessor is not currently elected in the same year as the other officers. The effective date for the term limits is different because the Charter amendments proposed in Ordinance No. 360 become effective September 1, 2010 and the Assessor is not elected again until 2012. The individual who is elected to the office of Assessor in 2012 will serve a two-year term. Then, in 2014, the individual elected to the office of Assessor will serve a four-year term and each four years thereafter on the same election cycle as the other officers, but will be limited to three consecutive four-year terms.
