| quent Inquiries as to whether lands that
have been sold to the state for taxes are
liable to assessment prior to the same
being redeemed, assessors are instructed
to assess all such lands as usual on the
roll of lands of unknown owners, in case
the same are not rendered by some party.
The annual assessments will be made in
the same manner as though the same had
not been sold. By this means an account
is kept of the annual taxes.
! "Where personal property uch as cattle
and horses, range in more than one
county, the owner of the same living near
| the county line, he shall render to the
assessor of the county in which he resides
the entire number owned; but in case he
has a separate ranch in another county,
he shall render this on separate inven-
tory, to be forwarded to this Office, and
the same will be sent to the assessor of
the county in which said ranch is situated.
an view of the oath prescribed for
parties rendering property for taxation,
that they shall make a rendition to the
| assessor of the county of their residence
of all personal property owned in the
state, and other sections of the law bear
| ing upon the same subject, the following
instructions are issued as TO the assess
ments of personal property in other
counties THAI the counties of the owners
residence:
Assessors will require all parties to rem
der to them not only the personal prop
erty situated in the county where the tax
payer resides, but also they will require a
full inventory of the personal property
owned by the party rendering, which is
situated in other counties; separate in
ventories will be made of the property
situated in each county in the state, as
rendered by the several owners, and the
same will be full and complete, so that
the personal property may be fully iden-
titled.
"Such value will be affixed as may be
designated by the party rendering, and
the inventory will be sttested by the as
SCISSOR as sworn to by the party rendering.
Inventories of personal property situated
in counties other than where tine owner
resides will not be submitted to the board
of equalization of the counties where the
property is rendered, nor will the same be
transcribed on the rolls of the county
where the same is rendered. When the
| assessments are completed the assessors
will forward to this Office all the invent
cries of personal property rendered to
| them and situated in other counties, and
the same will be forwarded to the assess
ors of the several counties in which the
| property is situated. Assessors are di-
rected to forward these inventories all in
one package and not as they are given in
| by the owners.
Assessors are required to exact rendi-
tions of all personal property in the state
under the same penalties as apply to reD-
ditions of property In the counties of the
| residence of the owners. Much personal
| property situated in counties other than
those of the residence of the owners has
escaped taxation, owing to the fact that
the owners have not, prior to the act of
1876, been required to render the same in
| their general assessments.
THE inventories of personal property,
as above required, in other counties than
where situated when received at this
Office will be forwarded to the respective
| assessors to whom they may belong in
time to place the same on the assessment
| rolls Of the county in which the personal
property is situated.
'In case an agent for the owners of the
personal property thus rendered and in
| cluded on an inventory renders the same
property to the assessor of the county in
which the same is situated, or in case the
owner thus renders the same, the assessor
can disregard the inventory received from
this Office, and supply the same with the
inventory of the owner or agent, and
after the action prescribed by law, will
place the property on the rolls. But as
SCISSORS will not permit any party render
ing property to omit rendering his or her
personal property situated in other coun.
ties, under the plea that the same will be
rendered b. himself, herself or their
agent, in the county where the same is
situsted.
I'm case there be two renditions from
this cause, the assessors of the counties in
which the property is situated will see
that double assessment has been made,
and will only place one assessment on the
rolls
