76-7-17. Enforcement of assessments.

Assessments by local district assessors shall be subject to the same delinquency period, discounts, penalties and interest as are applied to the collection of ad valorem taxes.

It shall be the duty of the district attorney to sue and obtain judgment and to enforce and satisfy the judgment so obtained.
