From the article:
"Even though the appraisal company does the work to determine the assessment, a tax assessor needed to sign off on it. Schettino said the appraisal company consulted with George Reggo, a tax assessor who works for several municipalities, for this purpose.
“It’s common when this happens that the assessors from the other municipalities as a courtesy perform the service just as our assessor does the same for those municipalities,” Schettino said.
Reggo was fined by a state agency earlier this year for reducing the assessed value of property he owned in Englewood Cliffs."
