This handbook mentions local, city and county assessors. The specific responsibilities of the local, city and <br />county assessor may differ from one jurisdiction to the next. Not all jurisdictions have a localassessor.Forexample,countieswith <br />atruecountyassessingsystem(allassessmentsaredonebythecounty)willnothave a local assessor. In counties having a city of <br />the first class, the powers and duties of the county assessor within such city shall be performed by the duly appointed city <br />assessor. In all other cities having a population of 30,000 persons or more, according to the last federal census (except in counties <br />having a county assessor prior to January 1, 1967), the powers and duties of the county assessor within these cities will be <br />performed by a duly appointed city assessor. The county assessor will, however, retain the supervisory duties contained in M.S. <br />273.061, subdivision 8.
