In answer to frequent inquiries as
to whether lands that have been sold
to state for taxes are liable to assess
ment prior to the same being re-
deemed assessors are instructed by
the comptroller 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 an
nual assessment will be made in the
same manner as though the same had
not been sold. By this means an &C
count is kept of the annual taxes.
If the assessor of taxes shall dis
cover in his county or outside Of his
county but belonging to resident of
his county any personal property
which has not been assessed or rem
dered for taxation every year for two
years past he shall list and assess the
same for each and every year thus
omitted which it has belonged to said
resident, in the manner prescribed
for assessing other property, and s UGH
assessment shall be as valid and bind
ing as though it had been rendered
by the owner thereof. (Chap. 1873,
Laws 1879
All persons, companies, and corpo-
rations owning pastures in the state
which lie on county boundaries, shall
be required to list for assessment all
live stock of every kind owned by them
in said pastures in the several counties
in which such pastures are situated,
listing in each county such portion OF
said stock as the land in such county
is of the whole pasture. All persons,
companies, and corporations owning
Iholding] any kind of live stock not
their own, shall list such live stock in
the several counties in which such
pastures are situated in the same man
ner, and in both cases the tax as
sessed upon such live stock shall be
paid to the tax collectors of the sew
eral counties in which such live stock
is listed and assessed. (Chap. llS,
laws 1879
Where personal property, such 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 inventory,
to be forwarded to this office, and the
same will be sent to the assessor of
the county in which said ranch is SIT
uated.
In view of the oath prescribed for
parties rendering property for taxa
ton, that they shall make rendition
to the assessor of the county OF their
residence of all personal property
owned in the state, and other sections
of the law bearing upon the same sub
iect, the following instructions are
issued as to the assessments OF per-
sonal property in other counties than
the counties of the owners residence:
Assessors will require all parties to
render to them not only the personal
property 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 inventories will be
made of the property situated In each
county in the state, as rendered by
the several owners, and the same will
he full and complete so that the per-
sonal property may be fully identified;
The attention of assessors is called
TO the fact that in making up their
assessment rolls the state ad yalorem
and the state school taxes must be
calculated separately, and each tax
inst no nlaced in its appropriate col
