Procedure for annual assessment

Notice of the public hearing shall state that the assessment roll has been completed and filed, and that at the time and place fixed for the public hearing the county government will meet and hear and consider any objections which may be made to the assessment roll. Notice of the public hearing shall be published in a newspaper published within Sussex County, and having a general circulation in the County, once in each of the 2 weeks immediately preceding the week in which the public hearing is to be held.
