§ 54:3-8.

The governing body of the county shall fix the annual salary to be paid to the county

tax administrator and the annual compensation of any clerical assistants. The salary of the county tax administrator devoting full time to the duties of his office pursuant to R.S. 54:3-7 shall not be less than $55,000.00 per annum in counties having a population of more than 500,000, not less

than $45,000.00 per annum in counties having a population of at least 275,000 and

not more than 500,000, and not less than $35,000.00 per annum in counties having a

population of less than 275,000. In the case of a county tax administrator, who, pursuant to the provisions of subsection

b. of R.S. 54:3-7 , is serving on a part-time basis, the governing body of the county shall fix an annual

salary commensurate with the time that individual devotes to his duties as administrator. Notwithstanding the minimum salary requirement provisions of this section to the

contrary, if the county tax administrator of a county is receiving an annual salary

prior to the effective date of this 1988 amendatory and supplementary act, P.L. 1988, c. 96, which is less than the applicable minimum salary set forth herein, the governing

body of that county may, by ordinance or resolution, as may be appropriate, provide

for the phasing in of the administrator's salary increase required by this 1988 amendatory

and supplementary act according to the following schedules. If the annual salary increase required is greater that $10,000.00 but less than

$15,000.00, the annual increase may phased in by two equal installments, the first during the current year and the second

in the following year. If the annual salary increase is $15,000.00 or more, the annual increase may be

phased in by four equal installments, the first during the current year and the subsequent

three in each of the three years following. Such salaries and compensation shall be paid by the county treasurer pursuant to

the fiscal procedures established by the governing body of the county. Notwithstanding any provisions of this section to the contrary, no county tax administrator

devoting full time to the duties of his office on the effective date of this 1988

amendatory and supplementary act shall, as a result of the provisions of this 1988

amendatory and supplementary act, suffer any reduction in salary. For the purposes of this section “ population ” means the most recent official population count of each county of this State as
