§ 27-35-133. Validation of land roll; correction and revision.
 

The board of supervisors of any county is hereby authorized to declare and proclaim the current land assessment roll to be in force and effect for one additional year, when in the opinion of the board, the roll is in satisfactory condition, and may be corrected by the board so that the assessment therein will be uniform and equal with the assessment of other property in the county, and will not cause financial loss to the county, nor injustice to any individual taxpayer. The board shall enter an order on its minutes at its January meeting in the year following the year in which the land assessment roll was made, declaring that a new land assessment will not be made for the current year, and that the latest land roll will be corrected and revised, and approved as the land assessment for that year. The board shall require its clerk to make and send promptly by mail a certified copy of the order to the county tax assessor and to the state tax commission, and a copy of the order shall be published in the form of a notice to the taxpayers of the county. It shall be the duty of the tax commission to furnish the assessor, the clerk, and the board with all needed sheets and other forms for correcting and approving the roll as so corrected; but new binders will not be used.
