Board confirms Jamie Mason as Northampton County tax assessor and collector
Summary
The Northampton County Board of Commissioners swore in Jamie Mason and then voted to approve her appointment as the county tax assessor and tax collector after she completed required classes and certification.
Jamie Mason took the oath of office before the Northampton County Board of Commissioners and the board later voted to confirm her as the county's tax assessor and tax collector.
At the meeting Mason repeated the standard oath for county officers: "I, Jamie Mason, will support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Constitution and laws of North Carolina... will faithfully discharge the duties of my office as a tax assessor and tax collector of the county of Northampton, North Carolina." The oath was administered as part of the agenda item to appoint the tax assessor.
Later in the meeting a motion to approve Mason as tax assessor and tax collector was made and seconded; the board voted in favor. The transcript records the motion and second and multiple commissioners voting "aye." The chair announced the motion carried and said the failure to vote earlier in the meeting was an oversight that was corrected.
Mason's swearing-in and the board confirmation complete the county's administrative process for staffing the tax office; the transcript notes she had completed required classes and the certification test prior to the vote.
