The deputy tax collector is authorized to do what?

• A. Authorized to perform only clerical tasks with a resolution.
• B. Authorized to do anything only with a resolution.
• C. Authorized to do anything a tax collector may do for tax sale (Chapter 5). Does not require a resolution.
• D. Requires appointment by Civil Service and may not act without formal approval.

Answer: (C)

For tax sale duties, a deputy tax collector is empowered to act with the same authority as the tax collector under Chapter 5. Once appointed, the deputy may perform any action the tax collector may do in connection with a tax sale, and this does not require a separate resolution. This ensures the tax sale process isn’t slowed by extra approvals. The deputy isn’t limited to clerical tasks, and Civil Service appointment isn’t the controlling factor here.
