Morphology
The meaning 'an official responsible for determining property value for tax purposes' is directly compositional from 'tax' (government charge) and 'assessor' (an official who values property). This noun–noun compound follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Tax assessor comes from the clear image of an official, the assessor, who visits houses to check their size and condition and decide how much tax they should pay. So, it means the person who decides the 'value of property' or the 'amount of tax' for each house.
